Re: [TCML] Need some advice on 150kva sgtc



Okay, obviously I am the only one who doesn't see any photos when clicking on:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=671287332969054&set=a.110176789080114.14601.100002633816524&type=1

For me this link is invalid. Are there photos of the system anywhere else, maybe even for the "non-facebook" people?

It would be intersting to see how arc length would improve if you lift the coil up a bit off the ground, and increase the BPS rate.
Coupling is also pretty important on big coils...
Have you experimented with increasing the coupling at all?

You got my message spot on Carlos.
The coil produces constant streamers about 20- 23 feet, or 6 - 7 meters.
It's very impressive. But i did make a  coil with 1 m winding length
before, producing 3 meter sparks at 20 kw.
so i expected around 10 meters with this set up. but 7 seems the max.

Big machines like this are typically less efficient than there smaller
brothers and sisters.
I have not taken the time to run the numbers on the info you provided,
but if the system is well balanced and in tune and pulling 40kva, I
would expect to see 20-25 foot long arcs at minimum.
The height of the coil will also be a limiting factor to some degree...

I assume from your question that you are not happy with the performance
or it did not meet your expectations?

Kind regards,

Me and some friends built this coil. It's total height is 5 meters. the
donut is 2,60 by 60 cm. the coil is 65 cm dia with 1200 turns of
2.5^2mm
installation wire. about 3.6 meter winding length. Cap, DR resonance
100nF, 80kv 4 in parallel.
We feed it with a 180kva 10kv yz5 transformer. Rectify the lot to 16kv.
ballast ensures 32kv on the cap. at 200 bps we draw 50-60 amps per
fase.
so roughly 40 kw. Max bps is 700.
Now the question. What kind of spark length should be possible from
this
coil?

Picture of the coil.
