FW: [TCML] Suggestions for a mini-TC?

["S&JY" <youngs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jason,

This is a follow-up to my suggestion below.  Have a look at Brian Basura's
twin TC at his site:
http://www.brianb.org/images/Tesla/Mini-Twin/mini-twin.htm  You might want
to download his white paper on it.  (The rest of his site is interesting as
well.)

Merry Christmas all,
--Steve Y.

Jason,

Consider building a pair of coils configured as a Twin Tesla Coils.  Each
coil acts as a counterpoise to the other, and grounding of the bottoms of
the connected secondaries can be a connection to your power line ground.  As
long as the sparks are between the two secondary toroids, very little
impulse current will flow in your ground connection.  And as a bonus, you
can achieve roughly 1.4 times the spark length for the same power a single
coil would use!  It might take two shoe boxes ...
