	I have a rather small coil here, running off a 12 volt
battery with a transistor interrupter.  I get 4.5" streamers
when the input current is about 2 amps, so results are almost 
identical to Malcom's.  Interesting thing........  If I turn
the coil on in the dark, there is almost no discharge visible
from the 2.5" toroid.  As the seconds go by the discharge increases
until there is a beautiful purple crown coming off the terminal.
