Hi Ted  ....

i get the multiple spark display when i use a smaller than "normal"
toroid with the spark gap set a bit wider than normal operation

15KV/120mA NST system ( 4-at-15KV/30mA)  8"secondary X32" wind .025uF
cap40KV  4"X18" topload .5" gap (yes its wide ;)  )  but it gives me
several streamers  and yes  the NST's get unhappy   if i add the 6"X24"
topload to the 4"  i get 4' single streamers  very active single
streamer :)   the single streamer is looking for a ground with a
vengence ...
