In the hope of tuning the resonant frequency down to a subharmic of L4
I changed the c2 tuning cap of L2 from 117nF (which already is big)
to more then 500nF.
and it doesn't tune down. it just stays resonant at around 185kc/s
since the parallel cap of L3 is only 6 or 7 nF the difference between primary L2 amd secondary L3 is to big.
When L2 and L3 are tuned by more equal size caps they both influence the resonant frequency.
I tried making The c2 (L2 primary) cap smaller, but naturally the frequency then only becomes higher, and thats not what I need.
I also loaded L3 again (instead of L4) which showed a bright lamp, I haven't calculated the power, but did write down the input vs output.
It slightly detuned the whole system, so that's another task.
but first I need to create a higher voltage load so the resonance can do its work better.
I plan to series connect a couple of 230V Halogen bulbs.
Also I want to use a different bulb to burn away the impulse energy to make clear how much energy is in there.
