Just don't get overly impressed by the long sparks with a small resonator
and a 7 times height ratio. Once you include the primary coil height
Richard Hulls magnifier is back to a much more reasonable (but still
impressive) ratio. I don't have the secondary details for Richard Hulls
coil but even if his secondary was only 2 feet then the total coil length
is 3 feet for a ratio of 3.3 which is not as impressive.
Having a one inch coil on top of a conventional TC would give a huge ratio
but is rather meaningless. John Couture put a one turn resonator on his
coil and got 6 inch sparks for a ratio of 298.

magnifiers with such small resonators (which represent a huge cost and
space savings) that produced arc lengths of up to 7 times their height.
