Hello all,
I've seen several references to running tesla coils is a series circuit
as follows:
neon secondary--cap--tesla primary--neon secondary
Would the spark gap be placed across the cap and the tesla primary and
what are the advantages of running a coil in this fashsion or am I
misunderstanding ? Most schematics I've seen show the cap in parallel
with the neon and the spark gap inbetween one leg of the cap and tesla
primary. Also, I would like to know where the strike rail for the
primary connects into the circuit? Thanks in advance.
