Coilers,

A question regarding Jeff's interesting forwarded post.  (I don't think Jeff
is on the list anymore, is he?)  I speculate that the short, fat secondary
arcs may not be anything special or the result of higher efficiencies.  His
smaller 4" coil was perhaps the equivalent of a helical TC secondary with
only one or two hundred turns?  Would not such a TC produce similar shorter
but fatter secondary arcs?  For those who have magnifiers - what sort of
arcs to ground can you get from your driver secondary (bottom of extra
coil)?
