Re: TC Secondary Electrostatic Charge

had around the secondary produced multiple shocks. Just like sliding your
had over a charged piece of plastic!

I too, have noticed that my coil retains a charge even after it is shut off.
I use a spherical (egg-shaped) terminal, not a torroid.  An electrostatic
field seems to remain in the area long after the coil is shut down.  I
figured it is a capacitive effect from the terminal.
