Re: Resulting static after TC runs

I believe that the top end capacitor can retain some charge, but this
is a rather weak charge. I suspect that this weak charge strongly
influence the accumulation of settling charges from the ionized gas
surrounding the coil. The separated static charge then sits atop the
first rate insulation that they put on the wire.

Two part resonant coils are like static charge sponges. You can draw a
spark to ground from either coil, or get a particularily nasty spark
between the two coils.
