[TCML] Tesla coil simple questions?




Hi, I am in
the middle off my dissertation (University project), I was wanting to get the
correct answers for the questions below:


 
The spark
gap equation..... L = 1.7 x /Power of Nst.

 
 
 
 
Why do we use 1.7?? I have tried looking for this but
could not find a reasonable answer.
 
 
 
 



 
Also


 
When
the voltage/ current has been supplied from the transformer.... the Capacitor
is charging, when it reached maximum the Spark gap ionized air and strikes
which makes it a closed circuit.


 
what
is happening to the Spark gap when the capacitor is charging? why does it
strike? how is the spark created?


 
There
are lots of simple ways of saying it, but id like to know what is actually
happening.


Thanks
Matthew.
