Hello father....

Yes, if you say lower the bang energy, you will need to make the toroid 
smaller to get to the same voltage (assuming the toroid does breakout at a 
lower voltage).  The smaller toroid will have smaller "reach" and the 
sparks will be shorter.  I do believe that sqrt(bang energy) has got to be 
for a single bang.
