so ... can this injure annything? sounds silly asking ... thou ...

Hi,

I would say definately, the voltages and current involved would kill instantly espcially in the primary circuit where current is high. In my own coil there is almost 19,500v across the primary tank capacitor. In most cases you wouldent even have to touch the thing for it ti arc across to you. Fun though!

hello, my coil is a 4 inch pvc secondary, but it needs over 12 turns to be close to in tune, do you know how I can reduce this ammount? my toroid is home made, its much like a 3 inch dryer duct toroid but a little different, my cap bank is at 13 nf, with a 12kv 30 ma nst, and a static spark gap, 1/4 inch tubing for my primary... thanks
