3600watts 6in Tc first light

["Tesla list" <tesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well its been a good long while since I posted anything on the list, 
in part cause kinda lost interest in TCs, but not any more, now that 
I have seen my 6in tc kickin out around 6 foot streamers at 3600watts 
it is simply amazing! I have posted some pictures at 
http://www.hot-streamer.com/nolan/Sixintc/ of first light and the 
other components.

I depoted a 15/60 France and left a few shunts in so it produces 15kv 
at 0.185ma 2700wats,and 2 15/30's total power is 3600watts. i used 
400uf to 500uf powerfactor correction caps.

the srsg is a modified 1/2hp GE motor 3600rpm to be synchronous at 
480bps with 2 stationary electrodes and 8 on the disk there just 
1/4in tick threaded rods and don't show hardly and ware. I wana 
remove four of the rotating rods bring it to 240bps butt ill have to 
run it outside instead of my basement.

my secondary is 6.625inod by 32in winding  length with 21awg for 1000 turns.

My cap is two 35kv 30nf Maxwell's for 60nf total.

the toriod is 18.5in diameter and 6.25in high, I was going to use 
my25in by 6.25in but there would be no room. the ceiling and vent 
ducting are 48in away and the crutches are 62in away, I get some 
power arcs to them.  most all pictures were 1 seconded exposes with 
an iso of 200, the color speckled ones are 2 seconds with an iso of 
400. Note the florescent light in the background are never turned on 
while taking a picture the tc is energizing them. now that I have 
some new stuff to post on my website I will up date some time soon.

o ye I almost for got I have some pics of my 4in coil running and ill 
be posting thos too at http://www.hot-streamer.com/nolan/fourintc/ , 
note I was getting a few ground strikes I haven't which is 40 inches 
to the ground and I had a strike to the bigger 25in by 6.25in toroid 
which is exactly 5feet away not to shabby for a 22in long secondary.
