Terry, Ralph, all,

I'm not really sure exactly how much ozone the tube coils produce,
but it gets bad in a small room.  Often I run my small tube TC (19"
sparks) in a small room, so this may be giving me the impression 
that it is worse than it really is in reality.  Someone mentioned that
steady filtered DC operation produces much less ozone, and this is 
certainly possible, I never paid attention during my DC tests.  

Regarding the 
appearance of the spark, I've seen the same appearance as Terry's 
coil whenever I run a VTTC from a filtered DC power supply, yes, it
sounds very much like a propane torch, and the look is like a solid 
blue plasma flame.  For a given power input, the sparks are much
shorter on filtered DC.  My VTTC that gives 19" sparks on raw AC,
gives about 7" sparks on filtered DC and draws more power if I
remember correctly.

Cheers,
John Freau
