Bloch wall disconnect and reconnect. The final design!

I have posted a utube kinda validating the pots on my plasma globe.

I need to get the hang of producing the videos but at least this one is a start.

I had to cull quite a bit, even-so I think it qualifies the need for having pots built into the plasma globe.
There will be quite a bit of change when I put the L-2 coil on the globe.   The meters will quantify that statement.

Little help,

Looking at Tesla's patents, about condencers, then zooming forward to today I am struck by how Nicola just stated use one with substantial value and of excellent construction.
Where Don or others state values like , in excess of 5KV and 34 uF or higher.
I cannot rap my mind around how to choose a capacitor for my personal application.

Don said the plasma globe would output 40,000KVA RMS , I do not have that big of transformer and so am I thinking right about choosing my cap based on the output value of my transformer?

H2Oc       This vid may help, look @ around 2:35  Don says to use a resistor to correct the frequency to whatever the transformer requires.  He refers to the ARRL chart to get values.  To me this indicates that you could use a big cap size based on expected power out, whatever you choose then with chart you can select a resistor size to reduce the frequency (60 or 120 hz ).

Remember----In one of the videos Don said that he could only show us so much but if we are sharp we could figure out what's missing.   Also remember, what I say might be the blind guy giving directions to the man who only needs glasses.

look around minute 2, I saw this same strange effect
