hi there,
            i have two mots and want to use them as a power supply but the only
problem i have is the limiting of the current. could i get the current down to
a very small amount 500mA poss 1 amp and what would i expect to draw from the
240 v supply the mots are 240 v input about 2600v output industrial mots
 
i only have a 2.2" by 12" tesla coil the secondary is wound with .2 mm wire 36
awg
would this melt it?
 
i currently run the coil with a 6kV 25mA nst with about 6-7" streamers but i
hope to improve with power factor corection and a rotary spark gap
