Hi Ed, So just for the grins I am going to ask this stupid
question.......Wouldn't we do better yet with using a .75uf capacitor? In
this case we should have .75/.005 or 150 times more energy stored per pulse.
I am trying to understand where the extreme limits are and why.

There is 42 times [0.21/.005] as much energy stored and delivered per pulse.

I recently finished the minibrute tesla coil and have it running well.
The question is why does this coil operate better with a large primary
capacitor size of .21uf vs. a smaller cap size of say .005uf. I have
tried this setup two different ways by using two different secondaries and
at .005uf the arcs are very weak and small. At .21uf the arcs are bold
and long. I know for sure that the primary and secondary were in tune on
both setups.
