Steve,

The ISSTC work that you and others have been doing is very impressive.
I've been busy and haven't been following the solid state TC scene
very closely.  It looks like the sparks are becoming more bolt-like
and less bushy in these newer designs.  Is that the case?
What type of pulse-rates and durations are you using, and how
is the pulsing controlled?  Have you compared various pulse-rates,
and firing pulse durations, etc.  I don't think I've seen any schematics
for these newer coils, are any available?  I don't think I've seen any
descriptions of the how the coils operate.

Thanks,
John
