Richard,

Welcome to the list.   If you want longest sparks, run the coil on
raw AC without any DC rectification.  DC operation will give quiet
plasma-like sparks, but they will be short for a given amount of
input power.  Just thought I'd mention that since you mentioned
the rectifiers.

Cheers,
John
