sundog,
i have put considerable time into this contest, even got a few donated
coils from ac-delco. i did get one 11" spark but i haven't came close to
that since.
there are a few things i can tell you, first the primary leads on the
coils that i got (and blew) were crossed over each other just inside the
potting. the 11" pulse that i got (and i still think some outside factor
led to it)i actually charged a bank of 3300mf 550v comp. grade caps then
discharged these, lotsa current. also i made a little toroid for a
topload (just for kicks)this discharged my 11"er to ground and fried the
primary wires. i cut this coil up like terry did and saw that the
secondary winding form leaves allot to be desired as far as uniformity
goes, they tend to fall off to a very close proximity to the pri.
windings.
now when i contacted ac-delco on some kind of a speck sheet on these
coils, there implications where that they must use these things in some
kind of nuclear weapons app. because i was told in no uncertain terms "
info requested, TOP SECRET"
if i think of anything else FYI i'll let you know.
good luck..........marc
