Re: Solid State - progress.
Greetings,
took my coil to church yesterday - for an electrifying childrens talk.
Kept it well out of the way during a baptism. (Water, infants and
150,000 volts is a bad mixture!). Got a round of applause when
the 8' flourescent tube lit up in my hands. (Getting a Scots
presbyterian congregation to clap in church is quite a feat!)
Starting winding a new coil on a 5 gallon plastic bucket -
Tricky - I sprayed it with varnish because the plastic is so
slippy. See how it works out.

Thanks for the schematic - interesting- but won't the primary
detune the LC circuit and certainly bleed current and power
out of it. I certainly think that these ideas are worth poking
around with - if instead of brute force driving we can get some
kind of resonator in the circuit then we should be able to get to
much higher efficencies.

But won't current be flowing through the diode and resistor
virtualy all the time. I put the resistor accross the diode
to discharge the capacitor during switch on, then it can
charge through the diode at switch off.
