Re: 3 phase coils

I know this thread died in May but I have been up to my ears in distractions...
I teach basic 3 phase at a Tech school and would like to look into a 3 AC 
coil or jacobs ladder.
I am especially enthralled with the way the magnitudes balance each other 
and am curious as to how this would pan out in a coil or ladder.

If I ever get it together and actiually finish some of these porojects I 
might actually learn something : /

All the three-phase coils I've heard of are DC.
Three-phase power provides for less ripple when
rectified than ordinary single-phase power does.

BUT...it certainly seems as though one ought to be
able to create a three-phase *AC* coil too. I'd
imagine it would be something like a bipolar coil, but
with three secondaries instead of two, all wanting to
send big bolts at each other. Would it really work
that way?

Surely somebody has at least tried a three-phase
Jacob's ladder before...? I'd love to see that, too.
