[TCML] Re: Trumpet coil experiment comparing electrostatic and magnetic modes



Several decades ago while investigating mutual inductance, I built a great many coils using various coil geometries.  In your case, when estimating the coupling between the primary and secondary, be aware that most of the trumpet coil inductance will exist in the first several turns of the coil, since inductance depends on the coil radius squared.  That should be kept in mind when determining the primary coil placement.  The mutual inductance between the primary and secondary will strongly depend on the proximity of the primary with the first several turns of the trumpet coil, where most of inductance resides.

just got the capital funds working again, interested but tught on time and
resources..  more  data and ideas welcome..
