A while back Gary Johnson asked for reports on solid-state spark length;
and I responded with a proposal for a figure of merit or "quality"
measure for Tesla coils: spark length to a grounded point per primary
volt--for all builders, solid state and "spark". I proposed millimeters
per volt just to make the number less depressing (25.4 mm are in each and
every inch!).
But there's been a silence. So I repeat it. How about it, everyone?
Any interest?
I put up 3.8 mm/V: ~24" or 610 mm with 160 V on my solid-state primary.
