The greatest loss component in a coil is in the resistance in the spark
gap arc.  How does one make plasma superconductive?

After some time reading the people`s comments on the list, I realize
that
there is still one big problem in increasing the coils efficiency:
everyone
have to realize that the basic design of the coil didn`t change for a
really
long time(don`t want to mention how long). I heard about problems with
the
top loads, conductors, primary power...... we have to move a bit further
from where we are I think. After some researching I realize that we
could
build a whole new area of research in the field of Tesla coils. How? By
using the superconductivity. With no looses at all!!!
Recently, I have build some machines based on the principles of
superconductivity, that works more than great, and are a scientific
proof of
what could be done with TC, if we use superconductors as a new
technology.
This field is very problematic, and it needs some argumented polemics.
So,
if anyone else on the list had some experiences with this, and want to
open
a new area of research, he is more then welcome.

Kind regards to all,
Nele!
