tapered wire for secondary
Original poster: "Daniel Ullfig" <DUllfig-at-sbcglobal-dot-net>
question:
the secondary being a quarter wave resonator, it has a voltage maxima at
the top, and a current maxima at the bottom. It seems to me that no one
seems to bother with figuring out the section of the wire based on this
current. only the voltage is taken into account. but if the wire is not big
enough for the current, don't you incurr big losses?
If you were trying to use a coil as a transmitter, the way Tesla was,
wouldn't you want to maximize the current at the ground connection, never
mind the sparks at the top?
