Subject: Re: [TSSP] Secondary in motion
Hi Paul, What a fascinating movie! It does look a lot like a steel ruler that is bumped a bit to get it moving. I have a request if it would not be a bother. Could you make the same thing but with a much higher coupling (like 0.3)? I am wondering if the racing arc cause may show itself. We often hear (just today) that raising the secondary (lowering the coupling) cures racing arcs along the secondary. Perhaps the high coupling mixed with these higher modes is causing local high voltage areas on the secondary that promote racing arcs?
