[TCML] Coil to light flouro bulbs

[John Campbell <circusavalon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thankyou Dr. Resonance.

I don't understand much of your reply except that its possible. I'lll lurk here a while and do some research, then probably ask for some clarification.
Regards,
John

Yes, but the Tesla coil design should be such that the VSWR is very low as
opposed to a standard coil in which the VSWR is high.  Low VSWR can
assure more radiation than a high VSWR which insures large sparks.  You
don't want breakouts and long sparks to insure the most radiation.

Our coils will light up a neon tube at 3,500 feet using 6.5 kVA input
power.  Fourescent tubes light up at 1,500 feet, so neon is much more
efficient
as a receiver/detector.

Use a medium size coil running 3-4 kVA and a similar receiver coil.  Largest
possible toroid to reduce breakout.  Silver tinned wire on sec, not magnet
wire.
