Hi All,
With my recent successes with input power vs spark length, I feel it is
important for me to get some photos out to show these results. I don't
want anyone scoffing. Today, I exceeded 5' with the same 1350 VA input.
I simply loaded it with a larger toroid, re-adjusted the coupling
height and retuned. And bang! It is still not perfect though. I
noticed I was getting some splitting on the secondary. I need to work
this out yet. A little more tuning and adjusting of coupling height is
in order.
I need to take some photos of my coil in action. I have heard some say
that 400 ASA film with a 1 second exposure works well. I have a small
problem. I don't have a great camera that I can just set the shutter
time on. I do have a camera that I can change the film speed in. So,
should I use 400 ASA film and set the shutter for 100 ASA film? I'm
sure someone has some experience in this area. I could use any tips
anyone can give. I'm certainly no photographer.
