Re: [TCML] On scaling up Tesla coils

[<shobley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the feedback.

Is there some limit on the current that can be passed thought our 1/4" tube
primary, and #24 wire secondary? 
I would assume that there is, but I can't find any figures.

At what point in increasing the current would it be a good idea to upgrade
the Terry filter, primary and secondary coils?
