Hi All,

Tesla in "My inventions" autobiography (below the picture of spark 

discharge from the ball) for brekdown potential of the ball give the 
following equation: 

V = 75 400 x r
where (V) is a breakdown potential in volts, (r) is a radius of the ball 
in cm.

1.) Is this corect equation ?
2.) How can we calculate breakdown potential of the toroid ?

Thanks,
Tuky
