Hi Terry and all
I have a DC powered coil with independant control of break rate
and power input. At low BPS multiple sparks break out around
the torus once the power is brought up to the point of breakout,
no matter how high the power.
As the break rate increases the sparks coalesce into a less
number of streamers until at ~ 150 BPS one streamer roils
around often changing direction rapidly, but not breaking up.
I think once there is enough voltage to cause breakout, mostly
all you want is enough energy to feed the streamers, and the
more you can pour in the longer they will get.
