     If winding secondaries in series is impossible on one coil form
because of inevitable breakdown problems, would it be possible to wind two
coils in series on separate concentric forms, one outside the other.  I
don't see any real advantage, as the inductance may actually be too high,
but if the space was filled with oil or plastic, it may be possible to
pull off.  For that matter, you could have a cylinder/pancake coil, with
many concentric layers of maybe 100 windings each.  Just musing. Scott
Bogard.
