[TCML] my new coil. how is performance?
Here is a video of a new tesla coil i just completed yesterday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk0-7RVxB3g&feature=colike
It's a 5.5inch nst powered coil. 15kv 120ma.caps are 942c20p15k 2 rows of 10 for a total of 30nfthe secondary is 25inches long, 26g wire,the primary is 1/4inch copper tubing, 12 turns totaland the gap is a sucker gap.
the longest sparks so far can be seen at 2:11 in the video.
i seem to have done all the tuning that i can, I am just wondering how the coils performance is compared to what it should be at 1800w.Unfortunately I have it tapped at the end of my primary, so there is no way to know if more turns would get me longer sparks.
thanks!
