Hopefully, then the conventional and magnifier systems could be directly 
compared.

I don't know anything about magnifiers 0;-))  I read Antonio's papers but 
did not quite get the math.  For the above I was just playing around to see 
what could actually be built without regard to Antonio's modes.  This 
morning I looked into how to use the modes as described in my other post 
today.

Do you have any idea which modes would work best??

I was happy to see the models saying that streamer loading and other losses 
should not hurt the modes much.  I was afraid the losses might mess the 
modes all up, but that does not appear to be the case at all.  Looks like I 
need to also make a C2 capacitor.  I am hoping the small coil's present 
rotary sync gap will work.  Interesting that this will also be an LTR, sync 
gap, MMC, optimal modes, NST magnifier system.  I am not sure they all have 
been put into a real machine before?  I guess we could call it an LSGMOMNMS 
:o)))

Presently, I am not doing the OLTC but rather may small conventional coil 
system.  The OLTC could probably really be helped too from this stuff but I 
figure I had better try a simpler system first to figure out what I was doing.

>Performance comparations should come as the last step

The models really look good!!!  Hopefully it will perform very well!!
