Re: [TCML] Toroid thickness effects

Hi John,
 
I agree. 
Turns out : both were on a list of available items,
but neither really exist for sale.
 
>From your comment, an alternate, an 18"x3' is
Really skinny !
 
I still question those spark length calculations.
Are you sure the 4'+ is realistic for a 12/60  and
4" dia coil ?
>From my early tests with a 12"x3" toroid, I will be 
more in the mid 20" range.
 
Best,

Alex,
 
Of these two, I prefer the 15" x 5".  I think such fat toroids  look
nicer, and may perform a little better also.  You should be able
to get 52" sparks or so, assuming the overall coil design is
suitable for such spark lengths.  The 16 x 3 size seems rather
thin to me (poor aspect ratio).  Just my opinion.
 
Cheers,
John
