Subject: [TSSP] Article on Tesla coil performance
Hello all, An article I wrote has been accepted and is scheduled for publication on Review of Scientic Instruments, Vol. 73, No 9, September 2002. It is named "Optimal performance for Tesla transformers" and presents a mathematical view of the process of changing L1, L2, C1 and C2 in order to achieve the best performance. It is based on several "classical" references, on my thesis and on Antonio's material too. I'm not mailing this to you to get more "shine". On the contrary, I would like to say a couple (3-4 ?) of things. 1. I wrote the article only because my professor from the Helsinki University pressed for it (to get the department name on the print, you know...). I feel a little like a hore, producing paper material to be allowed to go on with Thor's business... 2. I feel a little bit ashamed because there are people like Paul, Malcolm, Terry, Antonio, and many others that have been doing enormously more thinking/working/acting on these matters than me. They would merit many times more than me to get their name on that paper. I made sure to mention all material used from Antonio's web site and publications. I also hope it is clear from the article that it was not my own research. I just put together other's work results and drawn / wrote down the conclusions. 3. I just wanted to be the first telling this to you to make clear the two above issues, before someone starts thinking I tried to divert someone else's glory on me. Let me know if you have a different point of view on these matters, please :) At this link http://ojps.aip.org/servlet/HelpSystem?KEY=RSINAK&TYPE=HELP/AIPPOSTING you can find the (very short) "Web posting guidelines" for authors. I understand it so that I can put the PDF article (or a draft of it) on my Web page, if I include the required copyright notice. I think that means I can also email the same file to who I like if I include in my email the same notice. Please, could some of you (english mothertongue) check that page? Did I get it right? If the answer is yes I could, of course, put that article on my web for downloading.
