[TCML] very good simulation for peak currents

[bartb]

No, actually it is very good.

For example, set for Stephen's coil using the Java graph, V=21.2kV, 
R=15mOhms, C=12nF, L=62.5uH. The graph result shows 294A.

Ip = Vp x sqrt(Cp/Lp)  = 21.2kV x sqrt(12nF/62.5uH) = 294A

Javatc shows 294A also (transformer section: output titled Instantaneous 
Current).

Like any program, it's a matter of getting the inputs real.

Also interesting is the cap voltage graph (click the check box).

Regards,
Bart
