Re: [TCML] Rectifying a Tesla coil

[Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it possible to rectifiy a Huge tesla coil?
No reason I was just curious."

	Answer is yes.  Would probably take a huge rectifier tube[s] as most semiconductor diodes won't necessarily be fast enough.  Small CW TC's [or at least TC configuration circuits] are often used for HV supplies.  Some early electrostatic deflection TV's used them and they have other application where fairly low currents are needed in the region of a few kV to perhaps 50 kV.
