Hello all,
Thanks for your earlier help. I've got the varnish drying on my new
secondary coil, which I'm fairly sure was my problem. By the way, if anyone
knows a good way to wind coils with few gaps I'm interested. I made a jig
for winding and used a cordless drill, but even still I get the occasional
gap in the winds. Is this just one of those "experience and patience"
things?
On to my real question: Is there a method for sizing a topload correctly
for a coil? Assuming a toroid, you can choose different dimensions that
give the same effective surface area and therefore the same effective
capacitance. Are there useful rules-of-thumb for the proper sizing of a
topload, as a function of the other parameters of a TC?
Thanks in advance,
Joshua Thomas
