Hello Charles,
Quite an interesting beast! Since I plan to wind one at about this
Inductance of less power, can you tell the approximate core size (square
inches or two right angle side dimensions). I have C Core and EI beefy
candidates. At 5 ohms there must be some heavier gauge copper wire on that
baby! I really don't know where to start other than the Inductance and a
current of up to 1 amp and a 30KV hold off or so under oil.
Hope you find another one of these, but what are the chances?
I'll start a new thread on my inductor musing rather than hijack yours.
Good luck!
Jim Mora

Subject: [TCML] DC charging choke.
I'm using a Bendix choke on my dc Tesla coil, that has the following
ratings, 4.8H, 5 ohms, 2 amps dc and a 17KV working voltage rating with a
max of 35Kv . I'm guessing its weight at near 100 lbs or more. I've had
the choke for over 20 years and was wondering if anyone might know what
it's original use might have been? Are there anymore out there? tnx,
Charles
