Vtop(t), Itop(t), Igap(t) sounds like my kind of thing ;-)) Here are some papers I have: http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MyPapers/spark1/sparkgap.html http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MyPapers/topsync/topsync.html http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MyPapers/planant/waveant3.html http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MyPapers/smallar/smallar4.html However, these were all written in the mid 1997 to mid 1998 time frame. Although they may have some interesting qualitative information, I do not trust them much for any detailed quantitative data. The tools and techniques then were in their infancy and it was just a main goal to try and do such stuff at all... I can't belive it's been three years since then, but I "know things" now and have collected a number of new toys for such work. ;-) I will have to reconfigure the play room a bit but the small coil and all is ready to go. http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/MyCoils/SmallCoil/SmallCoil.htm I will start setting stuff up... Cheers, Terry
