I will be posting a pict shortly. It shows a microwave oven transformer 
pulling an arc 7.5" long...it peaked at 8" (20 cm) and I was running the 
coil on a 120V curcuit! I am NOT BSing here!
(wait for my pict, you'll see.)

Most of my MOT's do around 4 to 5"! I have 7 MOT's which output 7 to 8" 
pulled arcs! It could be possiable that they are outputing 2.5 to 3 kV 
outside of curcuit...that might explain why I'm getting massive arcs.
