The Corum's and a few others have built squarish or oval shaped primary's 
wherein they placed two secondary's of differing geometries.  The Corum's 
were trying to produce fireballs/plasmaballs.  The other unit I saw pics of 
and don't recall their intent.  I've been wanting to replicate what the 
Corum's were up to but add a powdered graphite injection system that sprays 
the graphite into the discharge with argon.  Can you imagine the 
photographs that would produce?
