Hey All,
In advance - Thank you for your patience. I have a question regarding the topology of tesla primaries.
The pictures I have seen of Tesla's coils have the primaries stacked in a vertical cylinder, a uniform distance from the secondary...
The pictures I have seen of modern Tesla coils (ie... R. Quick's outstanding video and stills) have the primary lying in a horizontal plane, perpindicular to the secondary, spiraling away in an ever-increasing arc...
Others even have a combination of both...
What is the difference? Is it (I suspect) an issue of Q? or is there a tuning issue?
