Original poster: "Gerry Reynolds" <gerryreynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi DC,Curious as to why 1400 to 1600 turns isn't optimum with PIG power?? Why does the TC care what the power source is??

Original poster: "D.C. Cox" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxx>Most systems respond favorably with a 1,400 to 1,600 turn closewound secondary inductor running with NST power supplies. Systems with pole xmfrs work favorably with a 1,000 to 1,200 turn sec. inductor. Tesla coils like a lot of "power" for good spark output. John Freau's equation works well to predict this behavior.
