Re: [TCML] CW magnifier

[Futuret <futuret@xxxxxxx>]

Carlos,

People are obtaining 60" sparks from a single 833C tube using
VTTC (valve) coils using pulsed staccato methods.  I'm not sure
of the design details, pulse-rates, etc.

Cheers,
John

Thanks everyone for the feed back.

Yes, I take your point about the CW coil already increasing the coupling, so 

your probably right... No real advantage to going to a magnifier...

My main reason was the ever search for longer arcs! I have a large CW coil 

(valve driven) that is not putting out the arc length I need, so I am just 

looking for ways to improve it...

I am not ready to go down the full electronic driven path at this point and 

I dont think I have the knowledge to pull it off anyway.

So I will stick to my valves, and look at pulsing it to improve output...



Thanks,

Carlos
