The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.

Does anyone have any data on the other transformer in the SSTC Tesla Coils I mentioned above? I know that winding a transformer (no, not the Tesla Coil itself) is where I will get stuck. How do I wind that safety 1:1:1 transformer? Thank you.

My thoughts on this go as follows:-
Tesla's coils were designed to oscillate without peoducing streamers, streamers 'waste' energy in heat and light. Presumably the secondary will oscillate for longer (ring down) if energy is not wasted peoducing streamers.
Presumably the 'copper mass' bit is to do with copper losses, Ohmic resistance. It makes sense for these to be balanced in primary and secondary.
What Tesla was trying to do was minimise losses. Balancing the copper losses on each side seemed important to Tesla.
With no streamers air may be ionised on each oscillation, but this 'ionisation energy' is returned to the system on each oscillation due to the lack of streamer losses.
I'm guessing that the 'mercury rectifiers' he used were ignitrons. These, I think, would minimise losses in the primary 'gap', thus transferring more energy to the secondary.
His goal was to 'store' energy in the secondary RLC tank circuit until it was 'tapped off' by whatever he wanted to power, we all know his lab was lit wirelessly, but his ultimate goal was to power his 'flying machine'.
His 'minset' was different to ours, he wasn't interested in producing streamers.

That is what Eric Dollard is talking about. I am trying to replicate one of his experiments, actually. No. no "free energy". Just physics omitted from textbooks. Thats it.

Keep away from Eric Dollard, he is a nutcase on the level of Deepak Chopra I have had the unfortunate experience of meeting a person obsessed with Eric Dollard, he, like Deepak uses scientific terms to make up nonsense. Let alone what he claims on -his own website- is enough to throw up warning signs.
Not to mention this is in the realms of Pseudoscience that should not be discussed here.

Is he stealing my ideas?
I just want to make it clear that I've never read his stuff and certainly don't endorse anything he says ( I mean Eric Dollard, not you, Tom )
