Twin Coil Calculations for Primary Tuning

Original poster: "Mccauley, Daniel H by way of Terry Fritz <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>" <daniel.h.mccauley-at-lmco-dot-com>

Just wanted to list my design equations for my parallel connected Twin Coil.
If something doesn't seem right, please let
me know.  Thanks


15kV/60mA Transformer
0.0277 Primary Capacitor (LTR sized)
Secondary Resonance Freq. w/ 8.84pF Toroid = 283kHz


4*pi^2*F^2*L*C=1 (Inductive Reactance = Capacitance Reactance at resonance)

For C=0.0277uF and F=283kHz, I get an inductance value of 11.4uH.

Since both primaries will be wired in parallel, then each primary coil must
be tapped so individually they
are about 22.8uH (two 22.8uH primaries in parallel = 11.4uH)

Sound right???

Thanks
