where did you take the data, that large coils are more efficient that
small ones? give me examples of _visible_ superiority. i don`t
consider that Steve Ward's drsstc have such superiority, because 20%
it`s not a lot, it`s not sg coil, and the power is not even more than
5 kw - it`s not so big coil.
let`s see if these given _big_ coils _noticeably_ more efficient than
small ones - i mean by criterion of 1.7 * sqrt(P):

1. Greg Leyh "Electrum"                               - NO
2. Tesla Technology Research "Model 13 M Magnifier"   - NO
3. Kevin Eldridge "BIGGG Tesla Coil"                  - NO
4. Mark Barton 25kw coil                              - NO
5. Ed Wingate 13kw classic coil                       - NO
6. Richard Hull "Nemesis"                             - NO
7. Richard Hull "Magnifier #11E"                      - NO

now your turn - give me the list, that shows the opposite.

what does it mean - "Smaller coils run out of voltage"? you want to
say, if we take 2 coils with the same power, but they would differ in the
secondary height and voltage 2 times for example, the taller coil would
give a lot long sparks? it`s _very_ simple to verify practically -
where is such info?

p.s.
ever and forever, absolutely best performer, supa dupa mega giga coil:
http://www.ttr.com/model9_page2.htm
"Longest arc length is 17 feet with 5 Kva A.C. input."
Freau number is 2.885!!!
1981 - whoa! so you`re all here nothing more than just a losers!
LOL :-)))

I have run coils up to 20KW in residential neighborhoods.  I have
received death threats and have had the police, fire, and department of
water and power all show up at the same time. Screw 'em all.  Keep firin'.
