TE>Remember guys, I spend my money so you don't have to...

We might not want to now !

TE>I paid $40.00 for a book titled:

TE>HIGH VOLTAGE GENERATION WITH AIR-CORE SOLENOIDS

TE>written and published by Thomas W. Lee, 8329 E. San Salvador Dr.
TE>Scottsdale, AZ  85258  USA

TE>This book was advertised by flyer enclosed with the last issue of
TE>the TCBA "NEWS".

TE>The self publishing shows, with typos on every other page, poor
TE>quality photostatic reproduction, in a nice hardcover binding.

TE>methods we regularly cover here. I guarantee our systems to be
TE>more energy efficient and longer lasting.

TE>is on the smaller inside tube, the larger diameter outside tube
TE>keeps the winding submerged in MINERAL OIL! (Polyurethane has

Where does the polyurethane come in Richard ?

TE>Coupled to this gasketed nightmare is a tiny, tiny, primary
TE>inductance. Seven or eight close wound turns are wound directly
TE>on the outer acrylic tube...

claimed performance ?
