Re: The forever ongoing upgrade

4.5 times the sec coil diameter produces a real nice unit.  We run this
length (actual sec wire winding length) with a 12 kV 60 mA xmfr and a 0.12
MFD cap, 20 kV rated, with 3 subdivided sparkgaps with a 250 CFM blower
behind them, and a 14 x 5 toroid.  Output is a solid 24 inch long spark.

4.5 x sec coil dia.
