Dear Group, I understand that when building a VTTC we are impedance matching coils but I have been unable to find guidlines on how to do this. Is there a way to calculate how many turns would be needed to get the perfect or near perfect match between primaries and secondaries and feedback coils? I noticed I was getting less length in arcs after tuning roughly two secondaries. Both with the same amount of windings but different guages. I got 40cm off the .25mm wire with 800 turns and 15cm off 1mm with 800 turns. I don't want to keep winding secondaries and feedbacks and would like a way to calculate it. Also I noticed some feedback coils turn the tubes on more powerfully than others even with physically moving them. I only have basic tools. A multimeter! I need a variac and oscilloscope but have no budget for them. I have used tc calculators but they focus on spark gap coils. Sorry if this has been addressed previously. Cheers! -Will _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
