Re: Cap orientation

I'm thinking that either your coil is mighty small or it doesn't have much of a topload. Without an appropriate topload, your primary inductance will be too small and the primary current will be too large. Maybe some dimensions are in order.

My TC should resonate at about 833Hz, I know that for a fact. I'm getting 15 15uf 2kv MMCs. I'm thinking I need my total capacitance to equal about 9.3nf, but I'm not entirely sure. Can somebody please validate that for me?
Also how should I arrange the caps? Right now I'm think of makinging an adjustable rig for my caps so I can play with the capacitance while the TC is running to tune it, but I'd rather not do that. Thanks.
