Hey guys,

I want to make a small spark gap tesla coil.  I have some 2200 volt 60 mA
transformer to use for the power supply.  The transformers have no shunts
that I can see and R(secondary) is 12.61 Kohms,  so I could probably
partially resonate the transformers.  I was thinging of putting two in
series for 4.4 Kv 60mA.  What size secondary coil would be best for this
size of power source.   I also have a 5Kv 60mA NST and some other
transformers too, but I want to use these 2Kv ones first.

I calculated approx  60nF  for C(LTR) for this setup.  What size coil
should I use for this small a power transformer?

thanks in advance,
