Abstract
In 1990, Duane Bylund published Modern Tesla Coil Theory, (Corona Coil, PO Box 474, Riverton, UT 84065). Featuring synopses of fundamental formulae and tricks learned from experience in the coiling trade, the book was praised by experimenters for its insights and relevancy to improving coil performance. The followign, excerpted from Chapter 3, is just the beginning of information provided on Tesla secondary coils. Optimization strategies are suggested by drawing analogies with more familiar antennas, relating theory and recalling experiences in the lab.
