Re: [TCML] Q
I remember the reading about that. I'm not convinced that test proves
that Q isn't worth considering. The maggy also has some other factors
involved not to mention a low loss frequency. Simply adding more power
to a low Q vs. a high Q coil can shoot out good sparks (2 or 3 coil
system). The bottom line is secondary losses can be overcome with power.
But, in a simple low power coil system, one can begin to see the
effects. It's not great, but it's there. The smaller you go however, the
greater the impact of those losses. But even then power will help. In
most cases, it's better we concentrate on the gap, especially as power
is increased.
The primary Q is going to be high unless someone goes to extremes to
prevent it. It's funny you bring this up. Primary Q is important but
none of us usually see the effects of anything "but" high Q primary's.
The losses would be huge in the primary with the peak current levels and
high impedances. On the secondary side, certainly far less important on
conventional turns and coil sizes.
Take care,

It's the primary Q that must be high. Richard Hull proved long ago
that even a small "resonator" coil in a 3 coil system, the resonator
was approx 4 inches x 34 inches, and was producing 11 ft long sparks,
so the Q factor of the sec coil is really not that important.
Rich is not active on the list but I think Dave Sharpe may have some
of this data.
