You will get a power arc from the xmfr and no resonant oscillations if the
cap is not in the circuit. At 60 Hz your pri/sec oscillations xmfr does
not work hence no output. You need the cap in the circuit.

> I just finished a new coil and asside from an incredibly powerful spark
gap discharge, it does not produce anysparks off the secondary. My
question is should the spark gap be able to fire without the capacitor
connected? I think the reason I am getting no output is that the coil is
running at 60Hz. Any how any info you all can provide would be great.
Thanks in advance Michael Andrus
