Re: NST Pulse Voltage

Original poster: Ed Phillips <evp@xxxxxxxxxxx>

"It *is* possible to run the NST at a higher frequency, thus allowing
more Volts for less seconds (the V*t product is per half-cycle of
operation, and assuming the core resets before the next cycle).  So
running at 120hz rather than 60hz will let you put in 500V for 20kv
out.  "

	Since the leakage INDUCTANCE wouldn't change the leakage reactance
would be twice as high so the output current wouldn't increase.  For the
same reason, the secondary would resonate with only 1/4 the capacitance,
so you couldn't get any more energy out of it than at 60 Hz.  I think
those numbers work out but haven't thought them out very well.
