Hi,

This nice page should help:

Here are the usual formulas:

Bart has the super calculator here:

Rotary coils are "tuned" the same as regular coils.  Sync rotary gap 
coils just tend to have a larger primary cap.  You probably want an 
"MMC" cap instead of trying to make one unless you already have it all started.

I think most of us use the size of secondary that "just looks 
right".  John has some nice tips here:
