    Hi my name is ken and am building my first serious coil,as a
    new chum to this game can you help me with some ground rules,maths
    is double dutch to me so any help other wise wil assist.

    I am currently running a 6" coil 22swg 28" long.

    Sec coil is 3/8 copper tube flat spiral 16 turns

    Cap 12 plates 9"by 12" alu flashing flat stacked with polyethalene
    sheets.Im only using 5 plates as this gives the best spark.

    total spark length at the moment is only 6" what am I doing wrong?
