Re: [TCML] rsg pulsing

[Scott Bogard <teslas-intern@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,
     Just put the spark gap power on a different breaker, that fixed the 
pulsing for me.  It is not getting enough power because the coil is 
hogging it all, you can put it on a separate breaker like I suggested or 
you can run it off a variac at a slightly higher power than 100% to make 
sure it gets its fair share.  It seems to me using a separate power line 
is the simpler way to go (just make sure they are different breakers.)  
I realized that my problem with pulsing was current draw when our 
breaker flipped (killing the pole light) and when I turned it back on, 
the coil worked fine until the light came back on 10 min later.
