Re: [TCML] Winding my Secondary

["Peter Terren" <pterren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My 18 inch diam coil ran short by 10% too. None of this stopped it being 
shown on the news in 16 countries or Discovery Channel etc.

Many / most people just aim for the longest sparks. I believe that it is 
what you do after that counts.  Think up some new 
approach/photo/video/effect etc.
I have still got many ideas for great effects for small and large coils that 
I haven't tried. (Sadly, I have stopped my hobbies re persistent 100h+ 
workload, otherwise would do them myself).
