Graph Data Survey



Hello EVERYONE WITH A TESLA COIL,

I have been using survey data to plot out coil
statistics using Excel. The more statistics surveyed,
the more accurate the data becomes. I have already
emailed this to about 150 coilers (please ignore if you
have already received my data stat form). I now would
like to catch all the coilers of which I did not have
email addresses.

If you have a coil with arc lengths, please fill in the
form below and email it to mopar-at-uswest-dot-net which is my
personal email.

***PLEASE, DO NOT REPLY BACK TO THE TESLA LIST****

Include as many coils as you like. The more data the
better. I encourage everyone to do this. This is not
about who has the longest arc length. This is about
relationships within the data, nothing more. If your arc
length is 2" or 200" it doesn't matter. All stats are
equally important.

Once I have completed my survey, I will upload the Excel
file to my web page for everyone to download if desired.
Unlike many other surveys the past couple years, I want
everyone to have access to this data to use as you see
fit.

My many thanks in advance for your time on this.
