Re: [TCML] Torroid/Shorted Turn?

[Skip Malley <skip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the first time that I have heard this being asked, but yes, 
it would act like a shorted turn and probably eliminates the windings 
near the top as useful turns   It might be worth trying to make the 
toroid look more like a big C.  It might add a few volts to the final 
output.  It would also lokely change the resonant frequency of the 
secondary wince it will likely change the inductance of the 
secondary.  A shorted turn at the end of the secondary would 
effectively shorten the length of the secondary.  By "unshorting" it 
the inductance would increase a bit.
