Subject: [TCML] poor preformance
I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas how I can go about
looking
for performance issues.
Currently, I get a very weak and faint spark off my top load of
less
than 1/4", but I can draw 4" sparks of the middle of the middle of
the
secondary.
The coil specs are as follows:
7Kv5 NST @ 30ma
630pF main cap
Static spark gap
7 turns of 12ga primary coil
2' 3"od secondary with 18ga wire
8" sphere top load
