There is a great increase of interest in SSTC but the old and rugged and
spectacular tubecoils are forgotten? I have recorded  225 messages in

and now only 2 in 2005 for me that built some sstc, there are nothing so

Vladi,

The tube coils are not forgotten but the SSTC's can provide
important research capabilities.  Interesting about the number of
VTTC postings.  I'm presently building a new VTTC, but I've been
busy with other things so progress is slow.  There does seem to
be "trends" that occur with some regularity though.  For instance
there was the SRSG trend, the STSG trend, the vortex gap trend,
mini-coil trend, the staccato trend, the high break-rate trend, the
low-breakrate trend, etc., over the years.  There are also folks on the
list who build various Tesla coil projects but never post about them.

Cheers,
John Freau
