Moriclips will clip two adjacent ribs together from the ducting ends into a
circle without projecting out to form a breakout point.
I use several and can put up and take down the ducting quickly.
I am using 18 inch ducting. Far better than conductive tape etc. I have a
plastic bucket to support the inner radius and it all sits on a big
aluminium disc.

Peter,
I see that the Mori clips will clip onto something like paper or a folder.
I don't see how they would be used to join together dryer ducting. Can you
explain?

They slide on and lock. Sometimes I use a couple of small aluminum angles
to help the slide off.

Subject: [TCML] Making a larger toroid ideas
Now that I have my mid sized Tesla coil working with 3 feet averaging and
some over 4 feet using 2 15kv 60mA NSTs... I would like to focus on
building a bigger Toroid top load. Currently I'm using 6" dryer ducting
with foil pizza pans in the middle. As most dryer ducting designs go, it's
not "smooth" and I get a lot of side sparks. I'm thinking if I can build
one with 8" dryer ducting or larger and figure out a way to make it smooth
it should create less but longer thicker sparks.
What are coilers doing about this problem? I'm not going to spend $400+
for
a machined one that's smaller. I'm limited on tools with a hacksaw and
electric drill for the moment. If dryer ducting is to be used, what are
you
guys using to join the ends together (just tape)?
Thanks,
Tim
