OK. Thanks for all of your help, everyone. (Buy the way, Mr. Karr, it was your instructions that I used, but it would appear that I didn't use theright kind of wire). I am going to rewind both chokes, using magnet wire. Ido have a question about the gauge of the wire, though. What is an acceptable gauge for, not only the chokes, but also the Secondary Coil? I have access to a whole bunch of (the right kind of) 36 gauge wire, and waswondering if that would work. I was thinking it would for the coil, but notfor the chokes. My secondary coil tube is 2.25" in diameter, and I will beusing 8-10 turns on my primary. I was thinking 5000 turns for the secondarycoil, which, if my math is correct, would equal 2943.75 feet of wire. If I did my calcs right, with 8 turns on the primary, this would put my output voltage up to 5,000,000 volts (ideally). Just wondering if the wire would (safely) work!
