Re: [TCML] TC Application - Neighbors

[Miles Mauldin <teslamiles@xxxxxxx>]

I need a few pointers from the experienced home coilers. What is the proper 
etiquette for introducing a TC to neighbors?  I’m not a late night person so 
that’s not going to be an issue.  I hope to have a first light of my coil this 
weekend and fear I may have to move outside to run at full power and I have no 
idea how loud my coil will be.
4 * 12kV / 30mA NSTs Paralleled
Richard Quick 5 electrode spark gap (total gap of .14”) w/300 CFM blower
60nF Tank
4.5x20” secondary
Double toroid (3x12” & 4x18”)
Computed coupling coefficient of 1.44 K at reported by JavaTC
Thanks for any advise.

Roger that.  I've gone my whole life without smoking...etc.  Don't need to fry 
my lungs because I'm coiling.  Especially while I'm tweaking the tuning or the 
gap, I get a garage full of O3 before I realize what's going on.

I've been nervous about neighbors - alas the coil is loud.  But as long as I'm 
not buzzing around in the middle of the night, I should be ok.  I'm only about 
1/4" mile away from a major highway (California Rt 17), which provides a 
constant background noise unless there's beach traffic on Friday.  Everyone has 
thick windows.  I'm probably overly worried.
