Re: Very low Fo Coils



Hi ...

I was just up in Moscow Idaho at the University
of Idaho and in the library there was not only Gasoe
and Lebacqz book on pulse generators, but the
hard to find Craggs and Meek - High Voltage Lab.
Technique.

They describe a 180 Hz air core resonant transformer
consisting of many piles of pi coils - 15000 Henry! -
stacked inside a chamber of circulating oil to keep it
cool. It was used to generate X-rays.

The tripler was a 3 phase primary with the secondaries
of each phase wired in series, no DC at all. Looked like
power was controlled with a satuable reactor.Produced
something like 1.2 MV at 55 ma.

There was also a section on Tesla transformers and lots
of other good stuff. Pity it's so hard to get ahold of.
