Tow
Hi sputnik
The carbon tow (thread like) has not provided to date, enough power to go to all that trouble. The one or two inch wide CF does provide much voltage but little amps. But so does copper coils. Bob may aggree or may not, I do not know for sure, but while he is testing the CF, I would concentrate time and money in other areas of this tech. Use copper secondaries for now as if the CF does work better later, everyone can add that later. What I see to date is that the copper is actually cheaper, easier to work with and doing an equal job. The superconductor thing about CF may show better than copper if higher volts and longer lengths were used but with what voltage we are using now, myself, I can not see the advantage yet.
