After reading Fr. McGahee's post regarding spark length vs. toroids,
recognizing the advantages of both the toroidal and spherical toploads,
I wondered if anyone has tried using a toroid on top of the secondary
for shielding, then placed a sphere into the top of the toroid to add
capacitance?  Any ideas of whether this would be worth trying?  I have a
toroid, and would consider making a large sphere to set into it, if it
seems like it would be of any advantage.
