Re: [TCML] Torroid/Shorted Turn?



I remember asking this question 5 years ago. The coupling is low and it has been shown by computer modelling and in practice to make no difference. Even from the early days of toroids I seem to recall ? Bill Wysock or someone sawing a notch in their toroid for no benefit.
Just don't expect it to make no difference near the primary end...

This is the first time that I have heard this being asked, but yes, it would act like a shorted turn and probably eliminates the windings near the top as useful turns It might be worth trying to make the toroid look more like a big C. It might add a few volts to the final output. It would also lokely change the resonant frequency of the secondary wince it will likely change the inductance of the secondary. A shorted turn at the end of the secondary would effectively shorten the length of the secondary. By "unshorting" it the inductance would increase a bit.

Just curious if a corona ring on top of the secondary coil, or the torroid
itself acts like a shorted turn? If so, is  it just insignificant?
