[TCML] Voltage stress, bang size, and twins

[Jon Danniken]

Hi List,

I understand how bang size relates to voltage stress on a secondary, and how 
increasing the
break rate effects a proportional reduction of bang size in a RSG coil.

How does voltage stress resulting from bang size affect the secondaries in a 
twin system?

Put another way, if a given secondary (in a single-secondary system) can 
handle a bang size
of xJ before it starts having problems, what happens when there are two of 
those
secondaries?

>From playing around with JavaTC, the coupling doesn't decrease with a 
decrease in primary
inductance (assuming a pancake primary), but I would still expect the 
resulting energy
transfer to be less per secondary than it would be if it was in a primary 
system; the
question is by how much.

I want to say each secondary will see 1/2 of the energy, but from reading 
that a twin system
is more efficient, I am also inclined to suppose that each secondary would 
receive sqr2/2 of
the energy it would normally see in a single-secondary system.

What's your take on this?
