Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cool Terry!Referencing the white "reference", the loss when the MOT is center to the flat coil is negligible. Interesting how the loss was 5 to 10% when the MOT was 2" below and near the outer section of the coil. It would be sweet to see a magnetic field map of a flat primary. It would certainly help us visualize the situation.
Did you also perform the test with a secondary in place? I wouldn't expect a change in MOT placement affect, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Take care, Bart Tesla list wrote:
Original poster: Vardan <vardan01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi,For my new little coil, I have to position the big iron MOT "somewhere". So I did some testing that I wrote up here real fast:http://drsstc.com/~sisg/files/SISG-coil/SISG-TPtest.pdf Looks like "directly under the primary" is the sweet spot!! Cheers, Terry
