Cecil, there are two Corums and they're both Tesla coil
crackpots. Secondly, Tom is right, you have to have capacitance
to somewhere or your transmission line analogy becomes mired in
absurdities. Third, it isn't enough to think something up in
your head to make a convincing theory, you have to be able to
predict behavior with it. Finally, you have to understand your
subject before you even start thinking. I'm surprised you didn't
even take the time to make a real coil and at least try to
determine its characteristics before wasting everyone's
time by starting this thread.

Tom,

You, and everyone else is, as we put it in the midwest, and probably
elsewhere, "****ing into the wind".

You cannot win an argument with someone that does not acknowledge reality.
