[TCML] Which Primary Circuit is Best?



Hi all,

So I've seen a lot of different ways to wire the primary circuit, and I'm just wondering if any of them won't work under any certain circumstances or if there are differences in performance. The first is where the spark gap is in parallel with the transformer and then the capacitor is parallel with that, then the primary coil. So everything is in parallel here.

The next us where the capacitor is parallel with the transformer and the spark gap is in series along one if the sides, and then the primary coil. http://www.pocketmagic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tesla_coil_cc.png

The last is where the spark gap is parallel with the transformer and the capacitor is in series on one of the sides, and of course the primary.
