Re: [TCML] very good simulation for peak currents

[DC Cox <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With the sec missing the estimates will not at all be accurate.  The sec of
course absorbs a lot of the energy and prevents high peak
currents and potentials from blowing your pri cap.

He is using caps that are not designed for high current impulse duty (100%
voltage reversals).

Also, the sec will reflect energy back into the pri which can cause
constructive and destructive interference patterns in the energy flow.

Interesting site for the basics but it does not have enough information to
apply to a Tesla resonance transformer.
