Re: [TCML] magnifier efficiency, was : Hi power/ little coil??



This crops up every year or so.
I could put a 1 inch resonator and attach it to my TC and claim that 6 foot sparks come from a 1 inch coil. When you add up primary and secondary heights, Richard Hulls coils performed well but total secondary plus tertiary coil height vs spark length was of little advantage to a well performing standard TC with a 3:1 spark length to secondary coil height ratio.

Richard Hull did this exact experiment with his magnifier system which I saw
running in Richmond, VA.

His resonator coil was 32'" in length, topped with an 11 ft. dia toroid, and
it produced a 13 ft long spark ---- a record that has never been broken.

It was driven by a 200 kV driver coil, but the main resonator was under 3 ft
long, wound with AWG# 28, and produced 13 ft long sparks!

It was amazing to see in operation.

It sure must have been.
Richard went to great lengths to point out that this was a proof of efficiency, and of course it was: resonator coil/sparklength wise.

I wonder, however, if this became the foundation of the coiling myth, that magnifiers are more efficient than standard coils, from an input watts to sparklength point of view.
