Re: [TCML] largest secondary coil you'd drive with an NST
Jared -
Please share the details of this EXTREMELY large secondary. Unless I'm
misreading your post (below) your secondary was wound with 5.5 miles (over
29,000 feet) of wire. Regardless of the aspect ratio, that's a large
secondary! A big secondary coil 24" in diameter X 72" long (winding length)
wound with #23 AWG wire would only use around 18,000 feet of wire, so your
coil must be really large.
If you have already been able to compare the operating efficiency of this
large coil against a solid state coil, it must mean that the coil is up and
running, and you have measured spark output length and input power. Can you
let us know the maximum spark length it has been able to achieve so far, and
what the input power was?
Also, since you note that it "rivals the efficiency of a solid state coil",
that must mean that it's something else: a conventional spark gap coil, a
huge vacuum-tube coil, or something completely new?
Please provide details! Circuit topology, spark performance, power source,
secondary dimensions, type of secondary coil form used, configuration of
primary coil, value of tank capacitor, etc, etc.
Even better, a few photos of the coil in operation would answer many
questions, and certainly help support your case that "more wire is better".

Scott Hanson

Our latest coil uses 5.5 miles of 23 gauge and it rivals the efficiancy of
a
solid state coil.
More wire is better!
