Tim,

You should easily get more than 5-6" with a 12/60.

What is your total gap spacing? Did you measure the capacitance or is that an estimate?

hey all

i built :
sec: 3.3" x 20" 24 gauge
pri: 13 turns .25" tube, .25" spacing, 20 degree frm turn 1 to 13
topload: 18" x 4"
S.S.G. : 9 copper tubes (4 shorts for 4 gaps total)sucker gap
12Kv/60mA NST
130uf PCF caps
Cap: 2 1500mL wine bottles, 7 40 oz bottles.....total cap. size approx. .01uf
Variac

the best spark is 5-6" to gnd and looks very "flybackish".....thin and always 1 streamer...primary tap comes out to about 8.5 turns, any where else there is nothing...the sec to pri distance is 1.5" radius apart and sec is .5" above pri. first turn....any thoughts....wih a 12Kv/60mA i should get a little more, eh? i don't have a website,but got a digi.camara & can email picts....
