Okay All,
                Okay so this is the idea - what happens if you remove some of
the primary windings of a 2kV MOT - not a lot maybee enough to shift the
voltage up a kV since when this is doubled and in reference to the second MOT
which has also been change the same way i have a PD of 12 kV - not such a
slouch.
    Not having a variac i was planning on using another unmodified MOT as
ballast.
    My question is WILL IT WORK i understand that this will affect current
regulation - of which MOT's have bu**er all anyway - but will it saturate the
core or some other such unpleasnt-ness
    Coupled with a sync rotary and a nice big tank cap it shouldnt do too badly
anyone care to hazard a guess as to a possible suitable secondary size and for
that matter arc length.
