Ok I fired our coil tonite... 3 times ... first time the saftey gap and
spark gap fired... ok so we seperated the saftey gap a little more...
try #2 spark gap bridged constantly... fixed that and #3... Spark gap
just wouldnt fire... another thing about the toroid... it's 3ft long
dryer hose wrapped in foil tape... would that be large enough/small
enough to break out on a 3-4 ft secondary... also about the capacator...
I filled it with pedialyte about 4 inches deep... is this ok... 

Many questions so little time...

P.S. -not bad for a bunch of 13-14 year olds eh???
