Try a loose coupling like a pancake coil or conical coil even try winding on a plastic bowl.try to match the weight of copper between the secondary and the primary so that the mass is the same in both
@m3sca1 my biggest problem is capacitance and the low amount of turns i guess when i get around to it ill make better capacitors capacitance only comes out to about .0034 picofarad it just ends up dissapating a fair amount of power and the frequencys are not able to get very high because of that. i really need some better capacitors i had a really nice one mad eout of ceramic plates that dissapeared at 9 nanofarads i wish i still had that
@m3sca1 i would like more output slightly and keep the high coupling due to space restraints of a new project im working on for a multiwave oscillators. not really looking for the classical setup its to clumsy
@prototype9000 just sharing tips i picked up for getting more output with you-yeah the thing looks clumsy but somehow the looser coupling lets the secondary swing to higher voltages-amd the mass of copper thing allows efficient transfer without the losses between coils,oh yeah and you really need to test it with a top load-have fun tinkering =)
oh yeah anb for a better cap,get some cheap chopping plastic and cut it up to make a capacitor stack-then drop the unit in oil...
@m3sca1 yeah just the capacitor thing is whats nagging me with my neon sign transformers i can make some pretty wicked tesla coils but im trying to get the ignition coil thing working the best the ones that work on the neon sign transformer just sit there and hum on the ignition coil ones. i suppose if i ever get some money ill buy materials to make a better one
