Three Phase Primaries Revised.

I once considered it rediculous that modifications to
a possible alternator tesla coil arrangement using
three phase should only use one secondary coil.
Instead I thought this should automatically presume
three primaries and three secondaries. That of course
would be a major accomplishment. However a formidable
barrier of power input seems readily problematic for
alternator schemes, so to superceed those requirements
we might wish to design schemes where the most
possibly efficient rf bursts occur on primaries, to
make up for the lack of input power. In this regard we
give each phase a spiraled primary, with the middle
phase or wind to be wound oppositely. To accomplish
this we test the three phase primary system both
inductively, and also with the primary system set to
source frequency resonance 480 hz of the alternator,
which is determined by the inductive reactance tests
made on the first testing showing the influence of
mutual inductance. These tests then assign "new" Lp
values for each winding according to the evidenced
mutual induction, and assign Cp values to each winding
in accordance with the desired frequency. I am trying
this alternator/ three phase primary concept with
Radio Shack Megacable speaker wire spirals. This may
end up being a fairly small coil try.
