[TCML] HOORAY!!! my first coil works!



Here is the summary of my coil while it was operating. It blew another cap. notice i was getting about 40" sparks
at 80 volts input (Lots of work to do yet).

I wish I had found javatc  BEFORE I began scrounging and building.

The capacitor is my main problem at this time. I also have arcing here and there on the primary to be addressed. One point is at the end of the primary coil, another is from the primary to rf ground on the secondary form.
I'm thinking corona dope

I am a HVAC/ refrigeration man, consequently, all of my tank circuit looks like 3/8 copper plumbing.
