hi, crazy people :-)

let`s imagine -  we have 2 tc with equivalent power:

1. 20 joules at 100 bps
2. 4 joules at 500 bps

would the difference in maximum lenght of ground arc be noticeable?
would the difference in ground arcs` brightness/thickness be noticeable?
would the difference in streamers` brightness/thickness be noticeable?

i`d like to hear any answers from people, who had built such coils &
had been watching such things in practice.

Your not coiling unless your blowing capacitors! Then when you get things 
worked
out to where the capacitors stop blowing, you start blowing transformers.
