Hello Chris

Checkout the site of Antonio Carlos at http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq. Go
to "Look under more recent programs" and then to "Inca". The author has
several papers there explaining some of the mathematics related to
inductance and capacitance. Checkout the references for more leads. A
sound knowledge of vector calculus and special functions, especially
elliptic integrals and Legendre function, should suffice. The formulas
there explain an approximate model in that DC inductance and toroid in
total isolation are employed...but the results are good. Another site
is at http://www.abelian.demon.co.uk/tssp. I am not an expert, but email
me anytime about these matters.

Thanks, I'll check out these various configurations on JavaTC, but I
was wondering if you had a link or a quick explanation relating to
the mathematics of coupling and these different configurations.  I'm
working on a Tesla coil not only because I want big sparks, but I'm
also very interested in the mathematics and theory.

Thanks,
Chris
