I am trying to see with my ISP what may be happening. But in these
days it appears that all their staff is in the beach...
Something is strange. In the last days I received only one or
two messages from the Tesla list per day.

Maybe the distance between the plates is too small for effective X-ray
generation.

A good use.

I remember that some time ago you was describing an OLTC coil that
appeared to have very high coupling, and so fast energy transfer.
Did you reach a conclusion about what was happening?
