Re: [TCML] Matt tesla



So what your saying is the old coils system just wont work with this its to far off to even use for testing

Sparks all along the secondary, instead of from the toroid?

(note spelling.. torrid is "hot", toroid is a shape.. spell checker says
both are ok).

You might have what's called "racing sparks".. often from overcoupling
between primary and secondary, or, too big a toroid without a breakout
point.  The voltage gets too high, and you're getting a breakdown along
the secondary. If you put a breakout point on your toroid, you can start
a spark from the toroid earlier...
