So would you just use the resonant tank capacitance value that you normally 
would for a lower frequency (60 or so hertz) xfrmr? And will it be simple 
enough to just stick a HV rectifier directly after the transformer or does 
it involve something more complicated? Thanks!

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
thing is finding a micro sized power supply. I recently ran across some
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 pe! rfect 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. >>
