Hi Dmitry,

Right now it is 7.5 inches (19cm) above the corona ring (c-c) and 
yes, I do get corona out of it with no break out point on the 
toroid.  Look at the last picture in the sequence.  I set the height 
of the toroid high and lowered it a little at a time until corona 
ring breakout ceased. Unfortunately, I did this with a breakout point 
on the toroid.  Once that was removed, I think the toroid charged to 
a higher voltage allowing the corona ring to corona.  Its kinda pretty thou.

BTW, the corona ring is 2.5 inches above the top turn. So, the toroid 
is ~25cm above the top turn.
