sorry one more time - i`ve never been learning english - only german
(looong time ago) :-)

ok - no problem at all.

Tl> Point is, how much shorter can you make it before it does become a
Tl> problem at 1.9MV (I assume that figure is calculated as though the
Tl> coil had no losses)?

if this current peak is just before the discharge (zero voltage), then
it`s separated from discharge moment (max voltage) only by a quarter of
period of Fres - what losses are you talking about?

Tl> So when are you going to build a coil and contribute to the pool of
Tl> knowledge?

not earlier than after a year (only _start_ of building), and it would
be only my first coil. unfortunately i can`t intensify this process -
nothing depends from me, so for now i`m going to read archives - ALL
of them :-)
