[TCML] Tesla Map "unable to tune"

["Stephen J. Hobley" <shobley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Between the Teslamap program and Gary Lau's pages I've almost got the
answers I need.

I keep getting "unable to tune" in TeslaMap however. 

It tells me that 2 strings of 6 caps are "a bit large". I need 12kV to
match the NST, so it would seem sensible to do 2 strings of 6 (12 caps
in the parts kit).

According to the MMC calculator this is a cap value of 50nF, and for a
static spark gap I should have something around 10nF...

Any thoughts on these numbers?

Steve

Hi Dennis,

Javatc is a free download. On the Javatc page near the top is the link 
to download the program so you can run it from your computer without the

internet. Here's a direct link (same thing that would be on a cd).

Take care,

program.? If you would like to sell a disk with the program on it, I
would be more than glad to kick in?some bucks to help defray your costs
