Re: Pictures of my 2KW coil and the 8x32 concrete toroid

Hi Dmitry,

Right now it is 7.5 inches (19cm) above the corona ring (c-c) and yes, I do get corona out of it with no break out point on the toroid. Look at the last picture in the sequence. I set the height of the toroid high and lowered it a little at a time until corona ring breakout ceased. Unfortunately, I did this with a breakout point on the toroid. Once that was removed, I think the toroid charged to a higher voltage allowing the corona ring to corona. Its kinda pretty thou.

BTW, the corona ring is 2.5 inches above the top turn. So, the toroid is ~25cm above the top turn.

Hello Gerry.

> I finished building the 8x32 toroid

what`s the height the toroid is mounted at - around 30cm? look here:

http://cis.ru/~dest/m.JPG

it`s an approximately model of your coil - i`ve calculated that the
field strength around corona ring is more 30kv/cm - don`t you have
any problems with the corona at such toroid height?

if we comapare the old toroid with the new one - has the frequency of
strike rail hits changed, if yes - how much?

have you tried using both toroids simultaneously - your old at the
small height, plus a new one - maybe then you could lift the new
toroid more highly?

and without the breakpoint?
