Chris -
I can sympathize with you as I have had a similar experience with my JHCTES
Tesla coil computer program. However, I have found that the solution to this
problem is to keep improving the program and producing new versions. The
latest version is the JHCTES Ver 2.3 and sells for only $15.00 plus postage.
A TC Notebook is available which lists all of the parameters and how they
are calculated plus other information. The two cost $29.95 plus postage.
Tesla List members get a 20% discount.
The new program now does something that, to my knowledge, no other program
can do. It can coordinate 46 Tesla coil parameters so they are always in
tune when "what if" changes are made in the design. This is a design feature
that cannot be done with a spreadshet. I also show how the program can be
coordinated to agree with actual tests of your coil, also something other
programs do not do.
I have information on how part of the program works and that part can be
done on a spreadsheet. The automatic tuning and several parameters are not
involved. I will send this information free to anyone who will send me a
SASEnvelope.
