Here's the design of an 8 kHz TC I whipped up last night:
Diameter: 8 inches, height: 30 inches
101,182 turns of #40 SF wire
Wire length 21,327 feet, weight 0.66 pounds, DC resistance 2237 2 ohms
Inductance 4.1896 henries
Self-capacitance 14.5 uuFd
Resonant frequency unloaded 20.4 kHz
Toroid top load 72" OD, 24" tubing, capacitance ~79.2 uuFd
Resonant frequency loaded = 8.04 kHz
Who wants to build it?
