Hello D.C.

Forgive my ignorance, but I personally don't see what you're trying to do
;).  I figure I'll ask for those who don't want to look foolish, being
willing to take the hit myself, lol.

Could you explain how this works physically, what it could be expected to
look like and how this is affected by the size of the coil it is attached
too?  How does this translate into 5' arcs?  How is this different from
arcing to a grounded plate from the toroid?

Thanks,

Dan Reinders
