Secondary Dilemma



Original poster: "CJ Moore by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <wizard1234-at-home-dot-com>

I have read that it is better to keep the ratio of width to height low, like
1:2 - 1:4. I knew this when I was getting into my project but I couldn't
find a wider pipe so I ended up getting a 4 inch pipe. I made the primary
which looks really nice in my opinion  I didn't want to make a site, but you
can see some of the pictures here http://members.home-dot-com/fredmoore/ (I used
my new toy, a Sony DSC-F707 digital camera) to take them. Anyway, so I have
a 4 inch coil but I have not finished winding it yet. Right now I am bout 16
inches in to it. I am winding using 22 gauge heavy insulation wire and
polyurethane if that makes any difference. The rest of my coil (as of now)
is 2x 9kv 60ma NSTS for a total of 120 ma. I have a Maxwell pulse cap (wish
I had a MMC) that's rated at 35 kv .03 uf. The primary is 3/8 copper piping
with 3/8 spacing, on all lexan form :-). So my question is basically should
I continue wrapping and have a ratio of 1:5 or higher (could make it as high
as 50 inches) or should I stop now with the 16"?

Thanks,
CJ
