Re: [TCML] VTTC Plate Transformer



Yeah, I've seen Cameron's coil, and I'm getting a free 833A from him to
experiment with.

@DC  I'll be at the Cheesehead Teslathon this year so maybe I can take a
look at this reactor.  To be honest I'm more interested in the new
transformer you've been talking about.
