Bert,
I hate using spark length for energy comparisons, but the maggies I have
made seem to only outperform the two coil system at high powers (over
5KVA). I would put spark length of a "fixed form" at no more than 1.5
times the two coil systems level of performance per unit input energy.
The key advantage is that tiny resonators can produce fabulous results
and field shaping about the resonator can reach new heights of
developnent and refinment without the nasty ole primary hangin' around
tangling the experimenter up in his underwear.
