yeah, it`s even brighter than on pic from my link, but it was to be
expected - your coil is several times more powerful. your toroid is
not even bigger than windings lenght, so sorry Kurt - i don`t think
that it is big at all, not for this secondary definitely : ) for my
first 2kw tesla transformer i had constructed 1m toroid, winding
lenght is about 0.92m - this toroid not big too, but i hope my
secondary would enjoy it, at fist time at least : )

yeah again - iirc you named this coil as "b&w" because of using white
rope as spacer, but somewhere in the process of winding this rope has
suddently ended and you wound the rest with black one? something like
that. heck, i read about this probaly 2 years ago, when Antonio gave
me the link on your induction coils page : )
you were looking so small, but so happy, staying near finished sec % )

primary is flat and about as high as first sec turn afaics, but toroid
is too high probably - what k you were running at that time?
