<< Hi everyone!
 My first TC turned out to be a design loser,
 the max. spark was 6",but i learned alot.
 One thing i learned was about this list and
 the knowledge of the people on it!
 For my next coil i want to use a 7.5" thin wall
 pvc form i have, along with a 15k 60ma neon.
 Before i begin,does anyone have suggestions
 as to wire size on the secondary and the primary
 type?I want to be able to increase the voltage later
 and use the same secondary.
 I know without a pole-pig i wont have a fire breathing coil
 but i want to maximize what i've got.
 
 Thanks, Rick >>

Rick,

My thoughts - I would use 22 or 20 guage wire on the secondary.  For the
primary, I would use 14 turns of 3/8" soft copper tubing wound with 3/8"
spacing between turns.
