I accomplish much the same thing by turning up the input voltage
and/or using some resonant charging without modifying the NST.
Or do you also supply more than 140 volts to the input despite the
modifications? Sometimes I supply as much as 180 volts to the
input for special tests. In some of these tests the sparks may have
reached 45" or so from a 12kV, 30ma unmodified NST. Even using
only 120 volts input, I can get 42" sparks from the NST.
