Peter: Secondary
16 inch of 24 guage mag wire (about 730 turns)
Secondary coil diamter is about 1.4"
Toroid is 4 inch diamter aluminum ducting in a circle with a 8" inner diamter and 12" outer diameter.
I have tried tapping everything to achieve a spark and still nothing. My calculations show that tapping around turn 9 should be resonant.
Once concern is that my capacitor .01mF capacito is too high. I didn't think that the .01mF capacitor and 0.007mF would be enough to make a difference. The spark gap fires regularly but no sparks off the toroid. I thought about closing the spark gap from .5 inches to more like a quarter inch or so, so the capacitor wont charge fully. Let me know if you have any advice. I have been working on this for weeks, and have to prevent on Tuesday. Any help is very helpful. Thanks again.

Peter: Alright, I am building my first coil for a physics class, and I have a little different setup than yours, but am having some problems that I thought someone reading this may be able to help me with. Here's the setup.
Primary
12000v 30ma NST
15,000V 0.02mF Capacitor (2 in series)
Static Spark Gap (Set around .5 inches)
1/4" copper tube primary (Flat pancake spiral) 1/4" spacing with inner diamter of 6" and outer of 12" and 12 turns.
AMP: tell me that the coke that the facilitator drank is real coke and not the one with charcoal in it ><
Mas: wow derek look at ur pageviews! and dude ur experiments are awesome!!very nice :D
HELiX: Yeah, it's labeled AW(VP) on the pipe, and it's considerably thicker than the normal PVC ones.
Azlyn: Pneumatic gun - how to know the pipe is pressure rated or not ? any markings on the pipe ?
AMP: Eh, with the addition of the Mont Blanc Pen Hack you might want to change your disclaimer to " All experiments and projects presented here except for the Mont Blanc pen hack are highly dangerous....(blahblahblah)." hehe

Shaun Sim: wow cool stuff
HELiX: Testing the new comment wall! :)
