 Te> I watched this thread go by about a 12"dia form wound with

 MG> Glenn, my current big coil is bifilar wound with two 24 ga wires. This
 MG> winding is approximately equal in surface area to an 18 ga. wire.
 MG> The main reason I did it is because I had a TON on 24 gauge wire on
 MG> hand. It works fine, I get 8 foot point to point discharges outside
 MG> in the driveway at a power input of 5kva.
 MG> The coil is 8 1/2" in diameter and the winding length is 30" at about
 MG> 750 turns, with a 6X36" torus on top. (130 Khz.)
