Kurt -

I visited your web site and entered the numbers from your B&W coil into the
on line JHCTES Ver 3.2 computer program. It appears that your coil's top
load capacitance does not change when placed on the secondary. This
contradicts past belief that the topload changes when on the coil because of
ion clouds, etc. Maybe it was because in the past the program inputs were
not accurate enough and the tests were not precise enough. This is something
that will have to be researched with further tests.

For the Primary I entered  Cap = 0.1094 uf,  Avg Rad = 13.335, and  Width =
7.0
For the Secondary I entered  Rad = 7.9,  Turns = 821,
  TPI = 11.79,  and  Sec Term = 69.59 pf
The operating frequency was 68.72 Khz,  Pri Ind = 49,03 uh,
  Pri turns = 7.12, etc.


The Sec Term = 69.59 is the calculated pf for the toroid you used and also
agrees with the Toroid graph I show in one of my books. No change was made
in the capacitance for ion cloud or any or condition.

thank you very much for the good news about usefulness of my
results. I'd like to give you the most complete experimental
doc's of my coils, ...but, if it comes to precision: it's a
bottomless pit! ;o). Even geometric data appear doubtful!

In fact, all my measurements suffer from this shortcoming. The
situation for B&W may be seen at
