Antonio,

I have read the page you refered to above and I have a few questions.

I don't understand when you say the primary and secondary have a coupling
coefficient of 'k12.' Is k an undefined constant? I thought coils had a
coupling coefficient of 0-1.0 (1.0 being max).

You use several variables I am unfamiliar with...k,l,m,w. Can you tell me
what each one is/represents/how it is applied to Tesla Coils? Well I
guess 'l' is inductance (got that one down).

Your page unfortunately leaves my head spinning in the technical realm.
>From what I gather, the resonant frequencies (self C and topload factored
in) must occur at certain integer multiples of each other. I would assume
each coil then be "tuned" to its own harmonic on the sine wave...can you
please explain to me in less technical terms please.

I intend to build a magnifier system as soon as school, time, MONEY
permit. I would love hear about the results from your tests so I can
apply do's & don'ts to my set-up.

Thanks,

Dan
