Re: [TCML] DC charging reactor

["Roger Smith" <rwsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ibrahim,   I have built several DC Tesla coils using neon sign 
transformers with SSGs but I have used a full wave rectifier followed by a 
filter capacitor.  For a charring reactor I have often used the secondary of 
another neon sing transformer.
        These Tesla coils tend to have a very high break rate and produce 
shorter but more flame like sparks.  They are awesome and well worth 
building if you can find all the parts you need to build one.

Hello every one!

Am planning to build my first DC TC of 20 kW throughput. Am using 15 kV / 30 
mA NST. Any info in this regard is most appreciated, especially in how to 
calculate the resonance charging reactor. Is it possible to use a half wave 
rectifier to charge the tank cap ( am using SSG)?. Would the BPS rate be @ 
50 in this case, since the voltage appears only half-cyclic (10 msec.), 
providing I employ a d-Q-ing diode?

Thanks in advance for advising.

Regards
