Re: [TCML] Old post



There is only one spot on the sign wave that is peak, might run better little before or after or at top. Don't have to worry using async. :)

 Async with variable speed, whether AC or DC motor. My sweet spot changes with every tweak, so a constant speed async would likely never hit the sweet spot.

 I agree 100% and my next gap will be a nice asynchronous gap. I have seen many very impressive async coils. Just like to try anything that is out there.

Hi Shaun, Steve,

Although synchronous firing (w/LTR tank capacitor) can be quite advantageous for the rather limited available  power with a typical NST driven spark gap coil system, from personal experience, I have found the output can be just as impressive with asynchronous spark gap operation and higher bps ranges w/ a smaller than resonant tank capacitor with the more copious available power with PT or pole pig driven spark gap coil systems. And it’s a whole lot easier! 😉

Just my $.02,
David
