Re: [TCML] question of construction - is metal okay at the center ofprimary?

["MakingLightning" <makinglightning@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been thinking of building an 8" coil using a 7.5kva neon bombarder 
transformer.

Do you think I could have problems if I put the transformer in the base of 
the tesla coil?

It would be nice to just run 220 and control to the coil instead of high 
voltage.

Hello,

Further to my construction question (thanks to DC for some tips) - I was
wondering if it was okay to have a bit of metal at the center of the
primary. I would need to place a few bolts there to hold the secondary
in place. Aren't eddy currents in that metal going to be a
problem/loss/source of heating??

Many thanks

Thomas
