3000 turn secondary

["Metlicka Marc" <mystuffs-at-orwell-dot-net> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

thanks john, malcolm, all
the reason i was asking is that i bought a 8" sona tube for a new
secondary, i already have 7# of #28 mag wire. when i got the tube sealed
up and ready i ran the numbers through wintesla, wow at 40" long i am
looking at 3006 turns. i figured if there was some great loses involved
in that many turns i would have to get different wire?
the way it looks is that if i use 1/8" copper tubing spaced at .3" i'll
have 27 turns to 150'
of tube, with an inductance of .3936mh. primary cap to res. is .0387uf,
my new cap is .052uf so it shows the tune at 23.7 turns and an
inductance of .2942mh.
with a topload of 32.53pf and 21kv-at-85ma as a psu, res. freq. -at- 40.80khz.

if no one sees any major fault with this setup i might just try it? i
was saving the wire for a 12" form but if this works maybe i'll make
another just like it in the future for a duel coil set up?
i would like to get another sec. built for the ne. ohio teslathon as my
secondary now is like a homely woman, faithful and dependable but ugly.
any suggestions will be appreciated and valued.
