Hi All,
     Well, I thot Dave would hop in here and discuss his maggie that was at 
the Florida Teslathon. The only unusual aspect of it is the two coils are 
the same diameter. Coil #2 has only 200 Turns or so. Coil #3 has 3-4 
hundred turns. Also the primary is not too tightly coupled(is adjustable 
though). We didn't run it very hard. My shop is wired for 125A. -at- 240V. 
Dave was pulling 40-50A. The trick is, big bang, big topload.  The screen 
wire toploads are not hard to make. Fiddley, but not hard. A hot glue gun, 
styrofoam, and chicken wire. Shad made the smaller one in a couple hours 
last year. I have to give credit to Shad for this configuration. He has 
been preaching this for years. Yeah, I'm a slow learner. We all had a lot 
of fun. Ralph's pictures were cool. Put some of those movies up there too 
Ralph.
