Hello Derek;Thank you for your comments and including a link to my youtube video. I have included a link to my youtube page so you can take a look at some of my VanDeGraaff projects. I think all VDG builders are using the wire or screen type pickups on their VDG’s, I have found something MUCH better. You can see it in operation in some of my videos.

I am using 120V mains through a light dimmer and wonder if there is something better and more robust than the dimmer? This Ignition coil HV supply will be a dual coil setup using a 25.0uf/370VAC motor run Cap.Not as cheap..any of the standard capacitor discharge electronic ignitions basically put 400V pulses into the coil to generate HV.6000 RPM in a 8 cylinder engine is 200 Hz typical energy per "pulse" is 100 mJ so 200 Hz is 20 W _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
