Sorry for all the newbie guestions, but I've been playing around with java TC and found that if i shorten my secondary windings by one inch my induction tripples in the seconday (12mh to 39mh) the capacitance stays about the same, the primary inductance goes from 30uh to 90 and the mutual inductance goes way up to around 300uh from 70. Is that to much? This is a small TC 360w.

I found one formula, but I'm not sure about it,kHz= 3032.5xw^ > -2767 - 96.4, not sure what the ^ is or if the formulas accurate. I've got > a 12kv 30 mA nst giving me 360 watts.
