The "Col. Springs magnifier coil" that D.C. refers to is the master 
oscillator transformer, the secondary of which does not function as a 
helical resonator.  The voltage gain is, for the most part, a function 
of 
the ratio of transformation.  If one were to build a classic Tesla coil 
with 
a short, fat secondary, then arcing to the primary would eventually 
occur as 
the input power was increased.

   
  I beg to differ.....if the coils were 25 ft in diameter and the height  0.45 times that....and a big fat toroid on top....AND  the primary insid the secondary.....I doubt you would get strikes to the primary...
