Re: Win tesla

I originated this topic. I still think there is a problem with the WinTesla
program, but it seems only Bart has understood my message. WinTesla states
the answer in
"in/gap", and for a 12000 Volt NST in gives an answer of
" 0.178 in/gap" for 8 gaps. This number yeilds a total gap distance of 1.424
inches, which is far too large. On the other hand, a single gap of 0.178
inches is too small. I think you see my point.

Thanks, Bart,

allan
