Ed,

Sounds good, although i have a question regarding your statement
regarding the comparison of arc current.
Did you guys actually measure the arc current of each coil and able to
make the comparison that way or
were you merely comparing visually the apparent "brightness" of the arcs
with your eyes.

I believe you did mention to me last year that you measured the output
current of your magnifier.  If so,
what was the measured peak arc current?

Thanks

Dan


Dan,

I measured a peak arc current of 15 amps. I have no idea if Steve has ever measured the arc current of his coil.

Measured arc length is 14 feet and building limited.
