i am following this guy:
https://www.rmcybernetics.com/projects/DIY_Devices/plasma-gun.htm
and i notice that he is grounding his secondary through his hand, now when i read up on this everyone says not to ground secondary back to the battery, but since his coil is so small its ok to use like this.
Since i have about 220 watts available to me for my hand gun, plus idk yet the size of my secondary, so I am hesitating to run it through me, is there a better solution for ground here?
could i use a capacitor tripple the value of the toroid on the ground side?
what if i wound my coil so that both leads of secondary were on the same side of the coil, so ground and vcc would spark to each other? would that work?
ALSO i'd like to read the value at primary could i use resistors to divide the voltage and then read it from a PIC a/d, does the a/d converter have a thevenin equivalent value??
