Hmm...very small sphere or toroid? That's not good I think. Very small top capacitance will degrade the performance further. Remember I want 1 Mhz coil to push to 1000 W . But thanks for the advice on caps. I really wanted to use MMC.Dex
But you can't have too much top C, or the fRes will be pushed down. Presumably, you want decent voltage, so the C can't be too big, either. If Cpri is 0.01 uF (10,000pF), and you want 10 times the voltage out(a few hundred kV, assuming you are running Vpri at 30kV), you need Csec<100 pF. (Vsec/Vpri = sqrt(Cpri/Csec), since the energy stored in Cpri eventually winds up in Csec)
