Hi All,

  On my website there are some good pictures of high-powered (~2kva) VTTC 
sparks that very clearly show the spiral effect on the discharge.  Look at 
the pics at the bottom of the page.

It is a real 3d effect, I've walked around the coil and seen it, and looked 
at the discharge from a very steep angle, it's definately a spiral.  That's 
the quad833 VTTC kicking out sparks, btw.
The pics are very clear and sharp, taken at a variety of exposures, but 
mostly at ISO 400 with a pretty quick shutter speed and manual focus on the 
Olympus C3000.  Enjoy!
