Similation results predict racing arcs

Hi All,

I created a spice model of a distributed coupled secondary using the 
coupling coefficients calculated by JavaTC.  This model has 
distributed coupling from the primary as well as the distributed 
mutual coupling between segments of the secondary.  I wrote up the 
results and had Terry host it.  The simulation results (using my coil 
for the model) seem to predict where on the coil the racing arc will 
breakout from and agrees with my observations.

Just before the conclusion, I stated why I thought the breakout went 
to the top of the coil - an explaination that I now think is 
wrong.  I have since come up with a simplier explaination, so if 
anyone wants it, I can email the updates to you.  If a lot of 
interest, maybe I can get Terry to rehost the document :o))

I also reposted the first part with some corrections:

Please look it over and comment.  I think we will be able to predict 
the worthiness of any new primary design.
