Thanks.  Not yet, but a set of twins may be on the way.

After seeing the performance of this thing, I am seriously reconsidering the
path of my tesla coiling projects.
I probably won't be doing much more spark gap type work and devoting all my
time and efforts to SSTC work.

Everyone and their mother has built every variation of a spark gap coil
imagineable.  SSTC coil work is an open frontier!
