RE: [TCML] DC base driven coil

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

I have just read through the archives and see that the idea is to run the
coil as standard then allow the arc to discharge caps to ground.

I am sure however that when I saw the pictures that there was no primary
involved at all!!! Was it perhaps a magnifier so I only spotted the
tertiary?

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.
