lol, Larger Than Resonant

There is a list of acronyms for Tesla use on our site (opps, rewrote the 
site) alright there WILL be a Tesla Lexicon on our site in a few hours (or 
days, whenever I remember to yell at Eclipse) lol. This is a hobby FULL of 
acronyms.

Larger Than Resonant means simply that the tank cap is signifigantly larger 
than it needs to be to perform tesla duty. This is frequently done in rotary 
gap coils used with PIGs.

hey, is PIG an acronym? Or just based on the appearance? I have always heard 
of the residential horizontal LP-Gas tanks being called Pigs because they 
LOOK like Pigs. Pole mount Transformers look more like goats...or perhaps a 
chinchilla.....even a Bat...but not a Pig really.


Alright, I need sleep....
