RE: Primary Heating

Forgot to mention, I've observed the inner-turn-only heating both on my
"normal" flat primary, and also on my two-layer primary, where the top &
bottom spirals are joined in the center, with fuse-clip connections to the
outer ends.  See http://www.laushaus-dot-com/tesla/primary.htm.  Once again,
only the inner turns became warm.

My innermost primary connection is by means of a very beefy copper strap,
securely soldered to the end of the tubing, and the connection to the strap
~ 2" distant by means of a 1/4" bolt.  The outermost primary connection is
the movable tap, and this by means of two fuseholder clips.  This is where
I'd expect to see ohmic heating, but do not.
