I know every coil can be set to operate in this manner.
if anyone feels so inclined they could set their static gaps to a small
setting so that the coil will just not break out.  Then al the same
stats could be givien and I could use that
but only "IF" they could tell me the peak voltage the capacitor was
charged to at the time of spark gap firing.

I am a bit reluctant to say what I am working on until I get a bit more
into it.

I know someone may have already done this and I know what I am doing
might not work out but I want to check it out any way.  When I get it
worked out a little better I will be happy to share my idea.  Even if it
is a bust it might spark some conversations on it and I might learn
more.

If I can get some responses it would make things a lot easier.

I need to compare to the real world!

I'm just curious to what you are expecting to get from this information
or
what you might hope to learn?

And BTW, I think almost every tesla coil out there will meet this
criteria.
Most tesla coils (with the exception of those with smaller toroids) will
operate in this fashion until you reach a certain voltage level where
break-out will occur. By adding a break-out point or similar, you can
get
break-out at a lower voltage than you can without a break-out point.
