Superior Power Supply

Tesla Fans,

I have been considering the advantages of using a high voltage DC power 
supply to power a coil.

The reason I think it would work better is the fact that you could use a DC 
motor to control the gap break rate and not have to worry about it being in 
sync with the 60 hertz sine wave. Tesla and other modern day coilers have 
noted the benefits of having a large bang size and low break rate.

So where do you draw the line? Maybe your coil would perform best at 81.7 
bps instead of the syncrounous 120 bps. As long as your primary capacitor is 
large enough, you can keep driving your bps down.

I think the optimum bps would be more closely related to the frequency of 
the coil than anything else.

I would imagine that any modern day HV DC supply would be heavily 
transistor-ized and not behave well with the RF/EMI produced by the coil.

Where could one find one of these (cheaply) without haveing to build your 
own dynamo? I found one company on the web that sells HV DC supllies (and 
will custom make you one to your specs)...outrageous pricing too. Voltages 
anywhere from a few KV to 30KV, and only a few MICRO-amps.

Comments?
