Re: [TCML] Re: Capacitor advice

You can always trust Java TC, but it can be difficult to put all the 
parameters in correctly, and often times a working system needs to be 
de-tuned by x % once the sparks start flying, but 6 turns seems a bit 
much.  I don't know if you can use Java TC for a magnifier, if you did 
you would have to use it in stages as a giant calculator, and put stuff 
together yourself.  You are getting 10 cm breakout using how many 
capacitor plates?  But yes, reduce capacitance, increase primary. 
Increase top load capacitance, increase primary.  More details would 
help us better diagnose your system and make sure your putting it in 
Java TC properly (for example are you sure you have 1700 turns?)
