Hi I'm a new french member of this list and I built a static spark gap tesla coil ( my website is http://fabuleusephysique.fr). I'm very happy to join this group and I have already spent lots of time on the sites of Bart Anderson, Richard Burnett, Gary Lau, Kevin Wilson, Phil Tuck, Terry Fritz... thank you all for the great information provided. I just ran a PSpice simulation based on models by Terry Fritz and Gary Lau. The model is on this page http://fabuleusephysique.fr/projets/bobine-tesla-1/bobine-de-tesla-1-simulation-pspice/ and is attached to this mail. Can anyone explain me what is the use of R17 and C8 ? I tried to run the simulation without them so PSpice sent warnings about the pulse sent to the 74123 being too short. So I guess R17 and C8 are there to lengthen the pulse produced by the "LIMIT" component, but I'm not sure. Another question: what is the use of R15 and R16 ? (sorry but I know nothing about the know-how of electronics...)
