The URL to the Corums interesting paper on Bill Wysock's fabulous =
site is the following: ( http://www.ttr.com/corum/index.htm ). =20
I have been following the ruminations on toroid size and have a few =
observations to wonder about. If the toroid were replaced with a plate =
with a tiny rim around it, at what point would the plate size excede the =
ability for the secondary to charge it to any given voltage? At what =
point would the secondary power dissipation in the RF wire resistance =
cook it before the toroid could be made too large? Would it be possible =
to use a very wide toroid with a small rim (read cheap to make!) to =
achieve the same spark length as a fat toroid (counterintuitive?)?. =
Richard Hull had a toroid about 6 feet in diameter on top of a 3" by 12" =
coil. The sparks were over 10 feet long off the toroid
