Wow - you don't happen to have the original post handy do you? I
don't recall saying anything about A-T in the context of a Tesla Coil
itself. I *do* recall saying that if the geometries of the primary
and secondary in a TC were reversed you could do better than the
turns ratio voltage-wise but the result was useless since you
wouldn't get a great deal out of it before it started sparking in all
the wrong places.
