Hi Joe,

I have a question about your propeller RSG. I have built a few
typical ARSGs with the standard whirling disc but I was wonder-
ing how you secured that polyethylene block to the shaft of the
motor? The attachment of the "propeller" tungsten rod is pretty
self-explanatory to me from your pics. BTW, nice coil system
there ;^)

Pics of this weekend's work. <http://yfrog.com/03ybnj>
Doubled up topload (thx to Dan ).  Larger MMC.  Back to propeller SRSG. 
Gotta say, of all the 4 gaps I've built in the past 1.5 months, it's the 
best.

Sparks are probably in the 4'+ range.  I haven't yet run outdoors, and it's 
too much to keep in the garage.  The top toroid is too high, and the sparks 
to energetic - it's zapping my home electrical system.  The romex bus that 
feeds the entire house goes through the garage.  I'm afraid of killing 
stuff.

It's amazing how quickly one can go from total disaster to total success in 
this hobby.  Just 6 hours ago I was ready to take a sledgehammer to the 
thing and swear off coiling.

Now, of course, I'm ready to move on to what I had really planned for this 
weekend which was building a halogen lamp dummy load and a winding jig for 
my next secondary...

I'll post some video of the coil running.  I need to lengthen my power & 
control wires, as I am now in fear for my life running the coil so close, 
and I'm damn happy to say that.

Again, thanks to all the pupman crowd for the help.  There is absolutely no 
way I could have got this thing to work without this community.  No way, no 
how.

Cheers,

Joe_______________________________________________
