Re: Flat coils & undamped waves (was Wire Length)

    As a general rule that self capacitance (probably quite small)
will probably increase losses.  Tesla describes coils wound with
bifilar wire and mentions the increased capacitance as a virtue but I
strongly suspect he never made (maybe couldn't have made) any
quantitative tests.  Certainly no one since has deliberately made
coils with high self-capacitance.

Why not?
