If so, and I'll bet they do, then E-Tesla immediately doubles its utility. You can add a final loop which scans the stress grid for the hottest spot and so print out the corresponding breakout voltage. You could print a warning if the hottest spot happens not to be on the toroid! > So It looks like E-Tesla6 may indeed be able to do this stress stuff > for our purposes with yet another minor revision..... Hope you can get plenty of actual measurements across a range of coils and loads, then we can establish some confidence in what looks like a brilliant result. Comes down again to finding an easy and reliable way for folk to measure their breakout voltages. Of course, then you'll have to apply ET to a heap of artificial systems to produce a database of breakout voltages, from which you can extract a magic formula. That would be a wickedly useful formula, epoch-making I should think. It would pretty well close the loop on optimisation for top volts. I have a computer you can borrow.
