John,

Again, excellent experimental work.  As conducted, spark efficiency appears
to fall off as predicted by the inverse square law with decrementing power
input.  This same data may also be analysed and concluded that spark
efficiency appears to improve as predicted by the inverse square law with
increasing power input.  This raises the question of whether increasing
power really improves system efficiency or do our TC systems really not
follow the inverse square rule?
