I have done some playing around with coils in my younger days but now want
to build real one. I have available a 12 inch diameter 5 foot long PVC pipe
that I plan to use as the secondary. I have four 9000 volt 30ma neon sign
transformers that give me 120ma in parallel producing about 1000 watts,
presently on a Jacobs ladder. For this size coil what wire would be
recommended and should it be close wound or have some spacing between turns.
I want to make a coil that would be hefty enough to stand an upgrade to a
pole pig from the neons in the future.
I hope this question isn't too elementary for the list.

Thanks
