Original poster: Vardan <vardan01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi Gerry,I normally us an equivalent gap resistance of 3 ohms. I think you can use 0.3 ohms in this case but I have not really tested or studied that to be sure. Looks like 1/10 to 1/3 the power dissipation in a full coil system.
Cheers,
Terry

Hi Terry,Excellant analysis. It looks like all your bang energy is dissapated in the circuit as expected with no secondary coil present. Is is possible to put the complete TC in the circuit and run the simulation and see what the simulated efficiency is??Gerry R.Original poster: Vardan <vardan01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi, I just did some dynamic power and resistance testing today. http://hot-streamer.com/temp/Sidac-Gap-4.pdf Nothing too dramatic. Mostly double checks and follow ups.A little more testing and then to get on to getting a real coil working with it. A list member has a perfect big DC MOT system right now, so I don't have to mess with the coil building :-))Cheers, Terry
