Hey all,
     This is a stupid question, but, it is bugging me.  I have seen pictures 
of many Tesla coils, and I have noticed something, everybody, who uses the 
spark gap in parallel-tank cap in series arrangement, attaches the capacitor 
to the moving tap on their primary, I use the center tap.  Is there some 
performance reason for this, or is it generally just a construction 
convenience (or does it largely depend on your transformer arrangement, aka, 
center tap vs not)?  Also, is 2, 5-AWG wires in parallel enough to handle 
the 600 some amps from my tank cap?  Thanks.
Scott Bogard.
