Thanks Malcolm for the nice comment.  I would think that generally
as Ep is increased, the toroid size should be increased too for
longest sparks, this is what I've always seen.  I did not actually
calculate the Vout based on Ctop however.  Can you give a 
suggestion for how an experiment might easily be done?  I agree
it doesn't matter much if Ep is increased by increasing Vp or Cp.
