So if we could drive our tube coils off, say, 16Hz mains frequency, we could get in the ballpark of your design?

Cheers, Finn Hammer

I just want to express how amazing your coil length to spark length ratio is. Is this a record? You should really consider a patent so some company doesn't come along and create a "personal defense system" (weapon) or some other nonsense using this idea.

This has been done. I remember Pete Bitar and the Tesla Rifle fiasco well.

Yes, it is a record, it beats my previous record of 5ft from a 4.5 x 13" resonator, though someone else may have beaten that in the meantime.

Great work Steve, I've ordered some 4CX250Bs, a big SCR and a water cooling bucket, and will try to repeat your results ;)

I can't understand why are you talking about 4CX250B. What are they used for?

I think that Steve's design is fully solitstate.
