	I am planning a new Tesla coil, to be shown at the Electrothon 2000
demonstration this June.  If you would take a glance at the following data
(Direct from Wintesla), I would be delighted to hear your comments.  The
only thing that I am concerned about is the small number of primary turns
required (4).  That is probably due to the low voltage, high current
transformer.  Is that low number acceptable?  I would also like the system
to be capable of using a pole pig in the (hopefully near) future.

Primary Transformer Output Voltage (VAC)
5000.0000

Secondary Coil Total Outside Diameter (IN)
 8.5000
Length of Secondary Coil (IN)
45.0000
Secondary Wire Gauge
21.0000
Secondary Turns/Inch
33.3333
Top Load Capacitance (PF)
32.9609
Sphere Radius/Toroid Tube Diameter (IN)
 6.0000
Toroid Diameter Tube Center-to-Center (IN)

-Thank you again, I cherish your advice,
