Hey everyone, I am new to the list and was wondering if anyone had any
experience with solid state drives. I am building my first Coil and I
have
been spending a great deal of time making it so I can interchange
primaries
and secondaries for fine tuning purposes, but what I need to be able to
modulate the output. The motorized spark gaps are fine for brute
strength
when your going for maximum power but I need to be able to vary the
output
voltage and do some wave shaping in the primary. Any input would be
greatly
appreciated.
