Hi All...

for those of you into the secondary charge stuff...  here is a good 
experiment...

run the coil and remove the secondary from the set-up, being careful not 
to discharge the secondary. Place the secondary on a dry insulated 
surface, place a dish towel with the frizzled ends near the secondary, 
then slowly slide a grounded object within an inch or so of the 
secondaries grounding wire. ( some experimentation may be needed to find 
the gap jump length here) . When the secondary is "charged" it will 
cause the frizzles on the towel to "reach" towards the coil. When the 
coil will discharge to the grounded object ( make sure there is an air 
gap) the frizzles will lay down. Slowly the frizzles willl reach back 
towards the coil and then the coil will discharge again.  This will 
happen for 2 - 3 minutes at about 6 - 10 times a minute....

be careful when removing the secondary coil from the assembly ... dont 
let the ground wire from the secondary hit your leg...  it will render 
your leg useless for a few minutes....
