I checked out the flagpole site.
It appears as if two of the flash collars
http://www.americanflagstore-dot-com/hardware/flashcollar.htm

fastened together might make a suitable toroid like thing, fairly cheaply,
with  "breakout edges"
COL1800 12" 18" 3-1/2" = 18 x 7 finished
$35.00 x 2 = $70.00

time but I found something I think is so cool I would
like to share.

Hi Joseph

I found some sites that are offering some much better things.

http://www.americanflagstore-dot-com/hardware/goldball.htm
http://www.jgbraun-dot-com/balls.html
http://engineeronline.ws/elmes/spheres.htm
http://www.sharpeproducts-dot-com/ball_hemispheres.htm

I found that flagpole balls are Real nice. I love the way the sparks move
around the serfice of the sphere. Toroids that I’ve made are just not the
same. Granted the yield longer sparks but balls are just so cool sometimes.

Read you later
