Single static gap quenched with a centrifugal blower
from a shop vac. I call it the "inside-out sucker
gap". Details are on my site.

47nF MMC. I dunno about the spark length. 36" to 48"
range mostly? But sometimes, a streamer will curl
waaaaay downward and outward to strike the concrete
floor! I've also had a few curl downward and strike
stuff on the bottom deck! If I straightened one of
those out, it would be lots more than 48". This thing
really needs a bigger (or smoother) toroid if I want
to improve the spark length. However, I like the looks
of multiple smaller streamers.

Mine is a Kodak DX3900. Fits in my shirt pocket.
