Alex,

I am sure it can't be 1.5km. I know Maplin well and I wound my coil with
22SWG -
I definitely checked and it wasn't enough. 1.5km of 22SWG weighs several
kilos! I
know because I carried a 18 kilo spool across London once!

PS Like the first name....

Don't have any pics on my site but go to http://i.am/volts and look for the
1999
UK Summer Teslathon. My coil pics are there. (Kindly taken by Mike Harrison!)
