Re: The 1500t secondary myth (long)

Just don't get overly impressed by the long sparks with a small resonator and a 7 times height ratio. Once you include the primary coil height Richard Hulls magnifier is back to a much more reasonable (but still impressive) ratio. I don't have the secondary details for Richard Hulls
coil but even if his secondary was only 2 feet then the total coil length is 3 feet for a ratio of 3.3 which is not as impressive.
Having a one inch coil on top of a conventional TC would give a huge ratio but is rather meaningless. John Couture put a one turn resonator on his coil and got 6 inch sparks for a ratio of 298.

magnifiers with such small resonators (which represent a huge cost and space savings) that produced arc lengths of up to 7 times their height.
