NST's and light bulbs

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

Glad to see its working for you now Rich.

Terry here is what he sent me off list if you want to post it -

Eric , I forget to say they are the "old" style with no fail safe. The ones
that work are 12kv-at-30ma , 15kv-at-30ma , the 15kv-at-60ma fires and pulls out to a
1" gap in air but not in the light bulb.

My other question was that I signed up for the Tesla list and I now get the
e-mail , that is how I found your e-mail, but t try to post an e-mail it is
returned.

I need to tell you I just retired and I want to build a coil  and HV stuff,
but I am new at all of this.  I have a lot of junk to work with and I am
just getting my feet wet.  I have a 13Kv-at-145ma trans (non NST) but I did not
want to start with it first. I also have a pulse cap 100Kv-at-.150uf, a big
Maxwell. Plus some tubes , 4-1000a's and some 304tl's and others.



Rich

I dont do much with NSTs personally(especially the larger ones) but many are
known to have arc protection. Whenever your light bulb erupts with corona it
produces RF energy which is detected by a fail safe circuit to prevent such
condition and cuts power. Although the voltage could just be too low also.
What are the specs of the NSTs?

   I signed up on the tesla list last night. I got my first batch of postings
today. When I try to reply it kicks back and I can't seem to e-mail pupman,
Can you tell me how it is done? I picked up a couple of NST a few days age
and after reading your notes I went I tried them on a light bulb myself. It
worked on two out of three of them
