 Greetings all,

 Yesterday was another meeting of the Greater Niwot Area Tesla Society.
 Mike 
 Hollingsworth came over and we fired up my 9" coil for the first time.  
<SNIP> 
 The larger toroid probably had a beneficial effect, but I can't say
 for sure because it effectively decreased the distance between any
 grounded object and the coil.  I was basically running an RF jacobs
 ladder between a piece of grounded pipe and the toroid.

 I guess the next thing is to put the coil outside and really throttle
 it up to see what it's capable of.  Next I'll start fiddling with it
 to see how I can increase the output.

Chip,

Congratulations on the new coil.  I would think maybe 100" sparks or longer
might be in the making.  What do you have for a power supply?
