Hopefully everyone can see this message. I have been having some
problems sending to the list...
Anyway, I would like to know how wide I can set the main and safety gap
to squeeze the most power out of my coil without damaging the neon.
Specs:
15kV, 30mA NST
.0053uF capacitor (Thats calculated, it's probably a little higher in
reality)
Primary:
"Saucer shaped"
7.5in inside diameter
.25" wire diameter
.25" spacing between wires
angle is at 15 degrees

Is there anything else you need to know?

Thanks.
Marius Grigoriu
