[TCML] still stuck at 36"



HI all, still chasing the elusive big spark.I have made a valve that can
control the air across the spark gap.Its a large ball valve t?ed to the hose
from the vac.

When the valve is about ½ open things seem slightly better.Will this act the
same as slowing the vac with a variac? Its just changing air flow as far as
I can tell.

As I am gaining longer sparks now 40-44?I am wondering what influence my
fairly confined space has on streamer length.I am not hitting walls or
anything yet,

Soon I hope.Not stud walls with wires. They are cement blocks.This coil is
the largest I have built.The smaller ones have always had a rather pleasant
sound 

about them,this one doesn?t have a steady harmonic like the smaller
coils.This thing is choppy, gruff, corse I have some thing not right! All my
tranys check ok

Lots of room on the primary for tuning .lots of top load options. mmc cap.
improved spark gap.lots of perseverance.And time.

Is there anyone in the west burbes of Minneapolis that I could contact/call,
that would be willing to talk.

Thanks again everyone!
