Re: [TCML] Pig based coil design.

["Roger Smith" <rwsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a pig based coil that uses a rotary and runs in the 10 KW range.  The 
idea of doing away with the rotary sounds very interesting to me.  Can you 
give us some details on how your VSRSG is made?     12 foot arcs from a 
system using a .035 uf tank capacitor is remarkable.

Roger.
