Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Yes, I do the same. I want the primary inner turn at near the same potential as the lower secondary windings, thus reducing a potential difference between the two coils at their nearest proximity to reduce pri to sec arcing. So far, so good!
Take care, Bart Tesla list wrote:
Original poster: "D.C. Cox" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxx>not critical, but we always attach the series cap to the outermost turn and use the other turn to return to the sparkgap.Dr. ResonanceOriginal poster: Timjroche@xxxxxxx Is there any validity in claiming that wiring should go: --------------------||--------------------x (inner primary tap) | tank cap O O main gap | --------------------------------------------------z(outer primary tap) Are connections X & Z inner-changeable??
