Hey guys so Ill post some pics up soon of what I got going so far. My first coil was a 24VDC SSTC and I got it to work first go! I got so stoked that it worked I decided to build a SGTC. This coil is a little over a foot tall nothing crazy im about three weeks in. I am having troubles finding equations or even how to figure a couple parts out. My power supply is some kind of flyback coil a friend sold me for a car flame kit. LOL that worked awesome! I could somewhat test the output with my DS202 and a fluke hv probe. I got around 30Kv AC. So I know I need to rectify, thats taken care of but how do i calculate what my capacitance should be? I couldn't find the equation for it, I'm sure youll need to know your output current. So how do I figure that out on a random flyback? I made some HV caps, I have about 31.58nf good to 40kv.I wanna make sure thats not too much.
My next big stump is the Choke. How do I calculate that? What value resistance should it be? I cant find that anywhere, just people showing pics and saying here's my choke.
lastly I just wanted to pic someones mind on synchronous rotary spark gap. I have a good stepper motor setup i can use and wanted to know what kind of equipment is needed to get in sync with your mains freq.
Thanks in advance guys!!!
