Re: [TCML] small coil with huge streamers?

[Joe Mastroianni <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, things will get hot and stuff will burn.
I had a reasonably sized DR coil - 8.5x32" secondary, 3/8" copper coil 
secondary,  CM300DY-24H inverter, powered through only ~70VAC at 20A 
through a doubler so the DCV was only around 180V, 0.5uf tank,  etc. 
etc. etc.  Running MIDI with only moderate arcs for musical purposes....

I made the mistake of running 12ga stranded between some of the 
components....and the insulation caught fire quite spectacularly during 
my Halloween performance.  Lucky for me it didn't burn up anything else.

Power density is a very real consideration....
