It's curious that you've not reported racing sparks.  It's always been
said that the use of a helical primary will result in too-high coupling
and racing sparks.  Maybe no one's ever actually tried it?  I hope so,
yours is very compact!


To Gary,

I once tried a helical primary which was very similar to Jeremiah's
primary on my research coil.  It had the same compact appearance.
It gave the same results as the
flat primary provided the coupling was adjusted to the same
coefficient in either case.  It did not have any more tendency
to cause racing sparks than the flat primary.
