Hi all,    
 
    I have been building tesla coils for about a year now and this list has been 
an invaluable resource for all things Tesla.  Currently I have a six inch coil 
that produces about 7 feet of arc.  Now for the specifications:
 
pri: 9 turns 1/4" copper tubing  at same height as bottom of secondary    
cap:  60.4 nf   PETP K73-14 caps    
sec:  1333 turns 24 ga. single build wire pvc urethane coated form
length of sec:  31"
topload   4" x 31"  on top of a 6"x 20" at 57" from the floor to center    
psu: 4 odd sized MOT's  pri's in parallel  sec's in series
rotary gap:  8 flying electodes 2 stationary  rpm 3450  break rate of about 455
no ballast
 
I think that covers most of the specs.  This is a most fulfilling hobby.  The 
wealth of information on this list is the only way I  have been able to safely 
and effectively build an electrical machine of this complexity (math equations, 
resonance freq's,  building techniques).  My thanks go out to ALL the 
experienced coil builders that have shared their knowledge via this list.  As 
soon as I am able I will post video and pictures  of the coil.  Safe coiling to 
everyone.
