RE: [TCML] Half Wave Coil <cont>

["Jim Mora" <jmora@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok Folks,

Now I would ask some others to weigh in on this before I wind a dud :-) It
seems to me that half wave implies 180 out of phase on a single coil. 

Thanks, Jim

I could always cut it in half if all else fails :-^)

How are twins wound not to confuse the issue?

    That doesn't make sense to me. We're talking about  a bipolar Tesla
coil, 
with one primary in the middle? Winding the secondary  halves in opposite 
directions would make both ends of the secondary have  the same polarity at
the 
same time.
