Well I was gonna just build a 6" with #22 
instead of #24... but someone mentioned an 8"
so I must ask, heh...

I used 3 15kv/30ma neons, and I have two .01256uf 
caps each rated at 25kv and 30kv.  (homemade
rolled poly)

Can 15kv, 90ma be enough to run an 8" diameter coil,
and what gauge of wire would I need, and how long
should I wind it?
If using a 1/4 scale, it should be 8"x32" correct?
