RE: [TCML] DC base driven coil

["Colin Heath" <colin.heath@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the link. Guess I should have used the archive search myself >_<

I only have around 10kv at 15uF (2 defib caps in series) so I don't expect
massive results but then I am only trying on a 3" secondary. I do have a 6"
but don't wanna burn that.

I do have a MOT to charge though with voltage doubler so that should provide
reasonable charge rates.

Cheers

I have a bit of a hankering to try it too although my pulse caps are a lower

voltage but I could do a rewire to get 40kV at 20kJ.  I guess you need a 
pretty solid charger to keep repetition rates reasonable.
