Re: JavaTC

Hi,
Be concerned with "power". A Tesla coil's sparks generally depend on
how much "power" is put into it. For an NST, that is simply the
voltage multiplied by the current. So a 9000 Volt NST at 30 mA will be:
9000 x 0.030 = 270 watts of power.
The formula is then:
Spark length (inches) = 1.7 x SQRT(power)
1.7 x SQRT(270) = 28 inches of spark length...
That is the best case... Mutual inductance is pretty far down on the
list. It depends a lot on the coil losses and such... But, "big
input power" means "big output power" which means "big streamers" ;-))
Cheers,
Terry

hello, i was wondering if any of you could tell me what number on
the javaTC program will tell me how powerful my coil will be, or
what number i should be most concerned with. My guess is that its
the Mutual inductance, but i could be total wrong. anyways your help
is greatly appricated, thank you
