Hello Fin Hammer, thank you for helping me out!. I've done some basic Calculations. Here is the basic config of the coil.6.5'' Diameter, 20.25 winding length and 32 turns/inch so about 968 turns in total.wound on PVC former.
I get around 600 something turns.......
The primary is 12.5 turns 13.5 inside diameter and 37 inches outside diameter. and in inch between turns. giving inductance range of 30 - 100uF fopr tuning
I would expect henries here......
the Capacitor is 6.4nF per transformer as they are 15kV at 30mA each. so giving a range of 6.4nF to 38.4nF depending on how many I hookup. you sent me this: Ipeak is a relation to Lpri, Cpri and Vmax. First calculate Zpri =>sqrt(Lpri/Cpri) so from this my Impedance is 781 to 125 Then Ipeak => Vmax/Zpri = 21,213 / 125 = 169 or 21,213 / 781 = 27 and Ipeak ranges from 27 to 169 Amps (this seems a bit low) is this correct?So I'm guessing the standard design will work fine - but just lots in series?Stephen
Could you supply tuning point for the biggest capacitor you use. This means: how many turns do you have engaged when all caps are in the circuit.
From this we can calculate Lpri needed to calculate Ipeak. Cheers, Finn Hammer _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
