Hey Raven
For the last 3 weeks I have been working the NFC playoff games and now I at
The Super Bowl
So I have been out of touch
You are interested in my LPM?
Read carefully:
The reason is: The larger topload stores more energy before breaking out.
Its a capacitor!
And when you put a breakout point on it has a place to leak out before the capacitor can charge further and develop larger singular arcs
I had this problem with my V1 4.25" secondary...
Usa
You need a bigger topload to store the energy longer then it will consolidate the breakout
To less more impressive arcs
You need 1kw or more to have ceiling hits of a meter or more
Mine is 2 mots 2.8kw
A piece of advice
Don't use the house ground for an RF ground!
Get a ground rod And as big a conductor as you can to connect
The bottom of the secondary to it and as short as possible
I blew out my vonage unit with mine.
Even with that the TVs were unwatchable
You need to learn javatc and input you specifics its free and it can answer all your questions
cap size, primary turns, toroid size
and transformer size is a huge factor
6000x30=180 watts
15000x30=450 watts!
I think it looks great!
The HV can't touch any wood, it never works!
progress has slowed for me too, I'm out of state for work
and I'm almost done with my upgrades
I think it looks great!
Sigurthr is right, Your 900 turns is right on target, thats what I shoot for,
this photo showed me I had 962 turns, more than I wanted, but still in the 800 to 1000 window, Good work!
little tuning and all will be mute!
