Re: [TCML] Transformer



It can be done!

I have 3 antique spark gap twin pancake machines. One will throw 18" spark and the others will throw a 8-10" spark. They all use a 1.5KV transformer and a single adjustable spark gap.
Drop me a line and I will send you a schematic I drew up and pix if you want.

Should be useable, with a bit of tinkering.  This
thing has a peak voltage of 5375v.  Running that
through a voltage doubler gets you over 10kV--more
than enough to fire a SGTC.  For serious coiling,
follow the doubler with big series charging choke and
a de-Qing diode for 20kV!  Short answer: if I had a
big, fat, 3800VA plate transformer like yours, I'd
find a way to put that beast to work driving Tesla
coils.
