Re: [TCML] Winding my Secondary

[Miles Mauldin <teslamiles@xxxxxxx>]

So I really should not worry about my computed top load capacitance? Or the height of my torroid? Or the aspect ratio for Primary to Secondary?  10% should not matter for my coupling and denture with resonate frequency of primary to secondary?   I am a little disappointed with all the time I spent working out the details of a plan design on JavaTC, to not have it maen that much.   I get the point, but am asking what would you all do if you were in my shoes?
Any experience would be better than mine at this point...

Anyway, my question is should I go through the trouble of splicing and continuing to complete my plan or cut the form down 2" and go back JavaTC and redo my plan?  What would you do?

Either one works..
Shortening by 10% isn't a big deal.
