Hi, there was a guy near here who had a coil with a pair of 12,000 at .125
amp neons and between ground and the bottom of the secondary he used 2 big
mots (5kw) in series for current. His coil made big fat arc's with a lot of
power. Very deadly set-up if you get across anything, but those big wide
"Ripping arc's" were impressive. cul brian f.
