Iv been doing some primary/secondary calculations with both
programs, and all else being equal (at least I think so) WinTesla
shows 14.7 turns for the primary, and TeslaMap shows 10-11 turns. I
am assuming that this is typical as there are so many varaibles in
actual construction that can change the resonant frequency. anyway,
heres what I am working on so far:
15/30 NST
~9nf cap
3.5 inch OD pvc for the seconday coilform
17 inches of 28awg magnet wire ~1135 feet, ~1239 turns
12 gauge (.064mm) bare copper wire for the primary (yes its
small) 5.5 inch inner diamater .2 inch spacing
~10 inch diameter sphere for topload (thats what I am using for
calculations so far)
I am hoping for 1 foot or better streamers, does that sound resonable?
