ok sonnet, so the thing is to get the most voltage out. i see adding capacitance will help us do this.
However we are running at a low frequency.... so in the end it might not even madder much?
Matt I need to re grasp all my thinking about the pancake coil. i think it helps us do what we want with the right thing.
im not so sure that the ideas of Newman and Tesla at 100% in agreement. ( different thing going on, same ideas)
Newman LOVED inductance. This is one part that makes his device work. ( so it looks on paper) so if we remove it I'm not so sure what will happen. its also low frequency
However if we were doing high frequency i would see it the only way... pancake coil. get the inductance out... run on capacitance!
so i think there polar opposite in a way... but I'm not sure yet..
something tells me adding capacitance is good for Newman, but not to much. i think the right balance is already build in to just having so Manny turns...
according to that article i posted the layer to layer is where most the capacitance comes from. hence why the pancake coils works the way it dose ( is it the fact that its going outwards / like in a fly wheel the force is out from the center ? ?)
also, the taller and less layers the coil, i t seems the less capacitance and the more inductance. , look how tall and round Newman's first coil was.
