Re: [TCML] magnifier efficiency

John, I apparently missed this detail about the formula. I remember when you performed various testing (keeping around 1050W for comparison purposes) and I know you also ran obvious 120 bps as well as higher break rates (up near 400 bps?). In my mind, my conclusion was that with the coils "you" personally tested, 120 bps gave best results. From that is where my conclusion was derived. But if other coils are also included during the formulation sequence, then excellent! This was something I was not aware of. 

Best regards,
Bart

Bart,
My formula is based on my coils but also on other folks' larger coils. I always said that my formula was based on various coils such as my research coil, Hull's Nemesis, 
Greg Leyh's Electrum, etc.

John, I thought you ran your testing of which the formula was derived at 120 bps? I agree that higher bps may also meet the formula's prediction (may not, may exceed), but I thought the formula itself was derived with 120 bps operation. Is this not correct? Take care, Bart futuret@xxxxxxx wrote:

and maybe other components become more efficient when they're larger. The lower frequencies that large coils usually run at may help also. John -----Original Message----- From: bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Tesla Coil Mailing Li
