okay guys, i'm going to do another try.
same 4 tubes, spaced by hot glue, gap is between 1mm and 1,5mm, 32cm long.
i have a conventional toroidal transformer from 2x12 (series: 24V) to 230V and an iron core transformer from 26 to 230V, will use one of them.
my pulse generator is a mikrocontroller atmega system capable of putting out pulses from 0 to 8Mhz in 1024 steps. Duty cycle 0 to 100%. i just need to finish the casing.
i have wound a bifilar coil with each having an inductivity of 1,23mH, if they are connected tesla-style i have an inductivity of 5,26mH.
My setup will be:
Pulse generator -> 12V to 30V going into transformer -> ~200V into rectifier -> coil in -> water cap -> opposite coil
i'll post some updates and photos soon.
