actually 60 KVA, 20 Kilovolts at 470 pf. I'm want to use them so I can
really limit this baby down so it can power my 3 inch coil. At max power
wintesla says my 3 inch tesla coil would throw 83 inch sparks under ideal
conditions. That is if the secondary didnt become a sheet of liquid copper
first. Read more here:

any ideas on the correct # of turns for a sliding core inductive ballast
with a 4 inch sq core at 240 VAC?
