    I've started cobbling together my power supply for the "hydrogen bomb"
Poulsen-driven coil--and I need some help on the current limiting.  I salvaged
a transformer with a core area of about 13in^2.  The primary is about 350 turns
and the secondary is about 200 turns, tapped at 90, 120, and 180 turns.  The
question is--could I short one of the windings (not sure which) and use it as a
tapped variable inductor, without having to gap it or hack off the
windings?  My
power level is around 7kva.
