Cool stuff.  You must be in good with the community to 
have it in out front on the driveway.  I always hide my 
TC work in the back yard.

Why do the sparks pulse on and off?  A problem, or are 
you just nervous to switch it on for too long?

The web site says:
  Input Voltage Measured (VAC) 237
  Input Current Measured (A) 103
  Output Voltage (VAC) 14400

Is that what you were really pumping into the coils?
  237 * 103 = 24,411 Watts?

If so, something is still way out of tune.  You could 
expect substantially more than 10 foot sparks from 24 
KWatts.
