Re: Suggest a Design Please
Hi Norm.
If you look at http://www.pupman-dot-com on the left hand side of the web page
all the info you will need, a link to wintesla is there. If you look at
Matt Behrends paqe you will find all the equations to design your coil.
Although you CAN throw a coil together without knowing the theory you will
get much more out of the experience if you do the math's. the trick is to
start at the transformer and work up,or start at the spark length and work
down. Unless you are into winding or buying a transformer to suit the coil,
and you already have a transformer I would start from the transformer and
work up. You should be able to make a good coil with what you have although
26 awg is a bit thin. but see John Freau recent posts on that.
Good luck,
bob Golding
