Richard -
Thank you for the information on your coil.
You may want to refer to my reply to Greg Leyh regarding the power gain
for a Tesla coil. Note that this information can also be used to determine
the secondary voltage and other parameters of a TC for design purposes.
For Greg's example 3 MV - 100 pf - 240 bks - (12 % eff - 45 000 watts
input from JHCTES computer program)
Input power 45 000 / 240 = 187.5 RMS watts per bks (spark)
At 12 % eff 187.5 x .12 = 22.5 RMS watts per spark in secondary
Sec power gain = 20 22.5 x 20 = 450 Inst watts per spark in secondary
Sec volts Vs = sqrt((2 x 450) / (100 x 10^-12)) = 3 x 10^6 volts = 3 MV

My knowledge is largely based on emperical experiment from the doing. What
