Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2006 20:40:04 -0600 Original poster: "Robert Hanford" <pomnept@xxxxxxxxxxx> Hello, Any input much appreciated. I am advising a friend on his daughter's science project. He got a 3kv 20ma NST for free and I wonder whether they are likely to be successful in making a very small coil. I have never used such a small power supply. Many thanks, Robert Hanford
