Being too technical again on my part I think...but no, it really is a
3.5MV coil...claims to have been a measured value (by Questacon).
It gets arc lengths to just over 4metres, no problem.

Hmm, didn't think as much...

I think they're called Theoreticalists.

Hmm, I'd say that's an accurate answer!
Looks to me as to get out the big-old voltage divider and hook it up to a
voltmeter and let the Coil arc to it...even so, the results from the
meter won't be constant...but will give you a good idea, hopefully.
Margin of expected error +/- 200,000v.
Thanks Richard, your comments have been very contructive and helpful.
Cheers!
