Re: [TCML] New Coil

[Miles Mauldin <teslamiles@xxxxxxx>]

I knew I wanted something to raise the toroid but didn't know how high or whether I was going to use a double toroid.  So yes, it is too long right now but I can always trim down, you can;t do the reverse though.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

12kV / 60mA NST
31nF tank
RQSG initially, plan includes changing to SRSG
1/4 copper tube flat primary of about 12-13 turns
4.4" x 22" secondary windings, 26 AWG about 1200 turns
???Top load???

Thanks!
Miles

How high above the top of the secondary are you placing the topload?  From
the looks of it from http://www.cmnow.com/TeslaMan/tn25.htm you are placing
it on top of that smaller piece of pipe?  That is just too high and it will
provide very little Electrostatic shielding for the top of the secondary and
you will get lots of loss and corona breaking out every were.
