Teslathon at Derby, England.
I used some 24" spun toroids made by Finn Hammer of Denmark, and a
new design of break-out I made that really helped with directing the arc.
The Teslathon was held at a church hall, which we have been using
for a good few years now. The church elders have got used to our
crazy stuff :-)
I used a 5kVA pig and a 140nF cap for the 12 foot run at about at
about 8.5kW input power. As you can see from Derek's pictures, I
burnt my gap up pretty good!
Still, it was only the first outing for this twin coil, and I'm
already working on beefing up the gap with air blast cooling.
I'm sure I can get more out the system with bigger toroids, more
caps, and some careful tuning.
The tuning was incredibly sharp on the day. I was moving the primary
clips just a few inches at a time and seeing big changes in performance.
I wonder if other twin coilers experienced the same with their twin coils?
Please let other coilers stateside know of our antics over here!
Kind Regards, Martin Nottingham, England
