Subject: unusual secondary geometries


Hey  all,
I stumbled across a web page advertising a square  Tesla coil, the secondary 
was round, but it got me thinking.  Would  anything other than a round 
secondary function properly, such as a square, or  an ellipse, or an octagon, or even 
something exotic like a star shape (if one  was tricky, he could interweave 
the windings in the same manner one draws a 5  point star without lifting a 
pen, around 5 vertical poles)?
 
  I would imagine breakout would occur at any "corners" as viewed  from 
above, not to mention it would be a pain to construct.
 
  Just musing.

Absolutely right on both counts!
