The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.
hello of people I is thereby MOT a stack to build I would like 4 MOT stack to build my problem is however that I at home only 16 ampere of safety device has and mots the too much river to pull thus throttle can do 1 MOT with short circuit second. one can take there also so a transformer as throttle prime: 240 v 0,52 A Sev 24/4.17A 100Va I should with 4 MOT stack mots in oil cool also because of the arcs estimated could due to the strong tension, or became a strong fan to be enough?
Sry for my bad english im from germany ;) Love of greetings Micha0_0

If I understand you correctly then yes I have seen people soak them in mineral oil to keep them cool. But you will need a ballast to limit current. I suggest using one mot with a shorted secondary for this purpose as discussed here. What are you using them for? A tesla coil? or just drawing arcs? Be aware that just one MOT can easily kill you vary quickly! Be safe and careful!

There are some folks here who speak German well. If the answers are not perfectly clear please continue to ask - as the safety issues are more important than the performance issues.
You should not be getting arcing: keep wires clear from each other; use only appropriate sizes & clean soldier joints. Using MOTs and Tesla Coils depend on the size and type of coil. A Vacuum Tube type Tesla Coil would be fine with MOT's. Remember that even with 4 MOTs you may not get more than 7-8Kv but relatively high current & the complications that brings. Better to use NST's if you can. No need for ballasts, additional insulation, or array configuration. They are more flexible & safer; including fire danger. NEON sign shops may give them away if you ask. I was in Dresden & we drove to Prague. There are many Pubs / dance-clubs that have Neon signs. And where there are Neon signs, there are NSTs.
yes but mostly nst´s are very expensive and mots i often get from my friend they have a shop and i get all of the broken microwaves for free and thats very important to me
is a vacuum tube tesla coil easier to build ? an they are mostly very small i thougt about an 40 CM high sec. on an 75mm pvc pipe and an MMC with rotary spak gap
other thing: do anyone know where i can get an POLE PiG ?

You should not be getting an arc over inside the secondary coil. If you are, then the mot is having some problems. You can use one Mot to make a VTTC. Here is a good selection. This one is particlularly simple and only requires one MOT.
As far as keeping the MOTS cool, submerging them in oil will definately help. A fan will likely not do much for long term or short term use. As for your english. You could always try a language converting software if it is a barier between you getting assistance on your project. Otherwise, I am sure that someone whill be able to figure out what you need and lend you a hand.
