Re: [TCML] Optimizing coil performance

[futuret@xxxxxxx]

Hi David,

Regarding the secondary length, I think Richard Hull's Nemesis
secondary was either 48" or 46" long and he got 15 foot sparks.
But his secondary was wider at 14" and his toroid was very large
at 60" dia or so.

Hi John,  
Agreed, and I've also found that it can be equally as 
difficult to get spark lengths >3X the length of the se- 
condary coil (assuming a classic 2-coil system). Of course, David's 
secondary is 48" long so he should still be good for up 12 ft. sparks 
from this parameter, too, assuming he upsizes his toroid according to 
both yours and my suggestion. :^)
