Hello Marcus, Its good that you want to know the theory and equations behind the tesla coil. After you learn the required equations, save yourself some trouble and just use JAVATC. All of those calculations are rolled up in that design program. It also takes into account a lot of the more obscure effects that will also affect the performance that you may not be aware of. If you enter all of the parameters accurately, it is surprisingly accurate, at least it was so for my coil. The primary tap point (11.5 turns) predicted for my coil with JAVATC was within 1/4 turn of the optimum tap point. That is some good modeling.

I am having some difficulty with resonance formula. I can solve for Xc(because frequency,and capacity are given numbers) but how do I get inductive reactance figures, I have tried formulas that involve the number of coils, gauge of wire, resistance, frequency,ect. Could you please she'd some light on the subject. As I don't have the instraments to collect this data. Thank you much. Marcus Anthony. _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
