Hi,

I got the specs now. 6" discharge with the simple setup on 
http://www.angelfire-dot-com/electronic/cwillis/811acoil.html
sure sounds good. 

I'll give it a try.

Hmm not much... :o)
So that's approximately the power from a small TV flyback. Wonder if
6" streamer discharge is possible if a secondary is directly driven at
its base (and who bothers about generator-load impedance matching
anyway ;o)

Many thanks for all the infos on the 811A!
