There have been various coilers, myself included, that have made small spark
gap TC's run off of flyback transformers. You'll have to rectify the current
though since high frequency won't work to decently charge a tank cap but DC
will.

<< Hi everybody,
  I have been thinking about making a micro spark gap coil and the hardest

  small HV transformers on information unlimited's website that looked like
  they might be useful,(

  scroll down to the bottom) the best one they have puts out 7000 volts at 10
  ma, which would be perfect for something this small, but the output
  frequency is around 30-50 khz. Anyone think these things could work even
  though they are at such a high frequency? What would happen to the tank
  capacitance? Thanks again. >>
