Hi everyone,

On My next tesla coil, I am wanting to make a cilindrical primary but 
I was wanting to use rings of coper (the rings will have a gap) held 
in place one on top of the other. The rings will be conected in 
series by attaching a wire to one end of one ring and connecting it 
to one end of the next ring above the first ring and the other end of 
the second ring will be conected to one end of the third ring. or I 
might wire the rings in a paralell form. Does anyone see a problem 
with these designs? Would one design give better performance than the 
other? Any coments or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
