Re: [TCML] Stacking vs Large Diameter



Looks perfectly acceptable to me! I like the distance you have between toroids. Ed Sonderman did similar except to have put a sheet metal type cylinder between the two toroids. He did get some long sparks on this dual-stack toroid. Your base looks really nice also. I like those red colored standoffs!

Take care,
Bart

Hi Phillip,

Well, you've seen firsthand what can be done with single large
diametered toroids in both the big coils of Cameron Prince and
myself ;^) There are a lot of variables to consider that would
make it nearly impossilbe to give you a definitive "yes or no"
answer to your question. The main advantage that many taught
with the double stack toroid design is the better E field protec-
tion for the reduction of primary/strike rail hits. I might could
personally reduce some of the strike rail hits from my Green
Monster coil by installing a smaller "bottom toroid" underneath
the large main unit, although it starts to become nearly impossible
to completely eliminate primary/strike rail hits at these power
levels with the physical size limitations that I am dealing with.

Does one obtain better results from a large toroid than stacked toroids?
In
other words, if I took two toploads of equal capacitance one being a
single
large diameter toroid, and the other being two stacked toroids, am I
likely
to get better performance from the large toroid, or the same from both?
