Hi Dave,

My intuition tells me it would work. But, I must try it to truly know. I 
think I'm going to build an inverted cone for my flat coil. My place of 
work lasers out all kinds of goodies and I know they've produced coned 
sheets as well (and have software specific to cones). I think I'll try 
to have them laser me one out and weld the seem.

Dr. Tesla had issues with discharges from cylinders carrying voltages to 
terminals (the cylinders would breakout prematurely). A cylinder with an 
increasing radius should be ideal. The large curvature of the inverted 
cone with a small curvature toroid would ensure the toroid is the point 
of highest charge grouping, and the entire assembly would serve as the 
energy storage capacitance (Cee) as any topload does.

I'll try to figure out a means of modeling an inverted cone topload on 
your coil. I'll report back if it works or not. I'll certainly need to 
use my other computer (this one crawls). It's a task I'd like to try 
regardless. In Javatc, I limit users to 10 topload objects per category 
(10 toroids, 10 sphere's, 10 disc's, and 10 cylinders), but that is an 
external limitation I personally set (simply due to time waiting for the 
program to finish). Paul's Geotc can do as many as you insert. So I have 
the capability to bypass my personal set limit. I'm just curious how 
long a single run would take (there's only one way to find out).

When I actually perform an L1 to L2 w/L3 as an object and then L2 to L3 
w/L1 as an object, I do a lot of runs back and forth until I get 
convergence of resonance. It takes a while and is fully manual, but with 
enough patience, it can be done.

Take care,
Bart
