i remember - just read about this about week or so ago : )

hmm - my data don`t correlate well with yours - something is wrong here

"I made 3 secondary coils exactly the same physical size but each coil
is wound differently.  All coils are wound on 4" PVC pipe 13.5" long.

Secondary coil # 1 is 4.5" dia x 13" long.  #24 wire.   600 turns.
12284 uh.  548 KHZ.  16.6 ohms.  Close wound single layer.

Secondary coil # 2 is 4.5" dia x 13" long.  #24 wire.  600 turns.
12284 uh.  548 KHZ.  8.3 ohms.  Close wound.   2 coils each 600 turns
with one coil wound over the other.  The 2 coils are connected in
parallel."

again -  i have another info on this : )

"I connected 3 secondary coils in parallel and found they perform just
as well as one large diameter secondary coil, with some advantages.
All 3 secondary coils are 4.5" dia. x 13"long, 602 turns of #24 wire."

> That was 5 years ago maybe longer I am not sure where my notes are.

a-ha, maybe that was another set of experiments, more recent, then i
must go and read further : )

p.s.
have you any web site this time up and running? the old link is dead.
