Re: Rectanguloids (was: Big Toroids, collective conscious brain storm)

From my understanding of Aaron's idea here, is that the topload "is" round as far as the objects used. It's just the cylinders used between each corner is strait (but still perfectly round). The corners would also be rounded elbows. The only problem that might present itself is if there was no center plate used (no center plate will have poor shielding of the top windings and highest toward the open area towards each elbow).

Take care,
Bart

The major dia and large surface area is what keeps the electrostatic field equalized so we want to keep this big and round --- no squares as this would serverely disrupt the field.

Lots of talk about big toroids.  I'm wondering:  It
seems to me like the major factor determining breakout
voltage is the *minor* diameter of the toroid, and
that the *major* diameter has mostly to do with
increasing the capacitance.  Is that correct?  If so,
then why not simply create a rectangular topload using
90-degree sections of large pipe.  If plastic pipe
were to be used, then conductive paint could be
applied.
