Bert!


You don`t provide much usefull information about your coil, like how
much power you are putting into it.

Let`s try John Freau`s formula (although it was devised for 120 BPS),
and your maggie obviously is running at a lot higher BPS.

180 inches=sqrt(power) *1.8
180/1.8=sqrt power
100=sqrt power
100^2=power
10kW=power

10kW out off your little potential transformer, I gues that`s possible
with a bit of resonance rise.

Now, say the break rate is 1000 BPS, then each bang would have to
contain 10 joules.

J=V^2*c/2
2J/c=V^2
V=sqrt(2J/c)
V=sqrt(2*10/0.000000015)
V=35514 Volts.

Nothing unusual yet.

Will this bring 15 feet streamers from a conventional coil, perhaps not.

But would it not be more interesting if you would post the complete
specs of your magnifier to see, if your results are reproduceable
elsewhere?
