Original poster: "Scott Bogard" <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx> Phil,I don't know why case 2 is better, something to do with the impedance of the primary. All I know, is I have used both cases 1 and 2, and with case 2, I had absolutely no firing of all the safety gaps I have installed in all the critical parts of the coil. whit case 1, safety gap firings were so rampant, I couldn't even tune the coil. I hope this helps.
