Gents,
The recently mentioned 12" coil with its secondary damage can be seen in
more happier times, prior to the damage incident, performing how it was
intended to at:
This also shows instances of the same coil running at 200bps as opposed
to its native 100bps (more in a later video). This change was achieved
by removing the complete 100bps RSG assembly and replacing it with my
own 200bps unit from my 8" Phoenix coil, (a reduction in capacitance and
re-tune was obviously needed). The easier route of simply swapping the
rotor discs over was not possible in this instance.
First thing you notice is the sound of the coil, soon followed by the
streamer's behaviour. The 100bps favours multiple breakouts from the
toroid, showing its top voltage is not constrained by the toroid's minor
diameter, while the 200 produces a single thicker streamer, indicating
the top volts achieved with 200bps is not as high as 100bps. This is no
surprise though as the MMC voltages end up higher on 100bps.
Everything else on the coil, the ballast, pig, coupling, etc, all
remains the same.
A fuller more detailed video of the whole 100 to 200 exercise will
follow shortly. That video will also show my own Phoenix coil (RIP) and
what happens when you push your luck.
