Hello,
    I am building my first coil and am pretty far along in construction. 
So far I am using a 15kv 30ma nst to drive the coil. I have build a 
bottle cap which I calculated to be around 8nf. I have a static gap and 
am going with a 13 turn primary and a 1100 turn 4 inch diameter 
secondary with 24 gauge wire. My question is this: Can the primary be 
wound with 14 gauge house wire? I had quite a few difficulties winding 
one out of copper tubing.
