Hi.
Try to make a smaller toroid, that would be the best. If your sphere is too high
from the top of the secondary try to lower it.
I've encountered the same problems when trying a metal sphere with too small
radius.
I say go for a toroid because it is impossible to insulate away the problem,
the pressure is just too high for any insulation to withstand on the top
of the sec. winding.
Good luck.
