Chris,

If you just want a small coil, why bother with these methods?  How
long of a spark do you want?  A 3" by 10" ordinary secondary coil can 
probably give at least a 2 1/2 foot spark if you wind it with #28 wire.

I've been considering building such a coil powered by a 7.5kV, 30ma
neon tranny.
