Hi,
Winding direction makes absolutely no difference at all.
Calculation is probably significantly more accurate than measurement these
days unless you have good equipment and do it just right. You can trust
the newer calculations to about 2% easily. I would just not worry about
trying to measure it. If you are unsure, give us the physical details of
the coil and we can double check for you.
Cheers,
Terry

HI,
I have a very basic Tesla Coil question. Does the primary and the
secondary need to be wrapped in the same direction? If so how is this
determined?
A friend of mine and myself have been working on our first coil for about
a year now and we read somewhere the primary and the secondary needed to
be wound in the same direction.
Other than by calculation is there anyway to measure the frequency of the
secondary directly. I do not have an Oscilloscope.
Thanks Guys,
