Christopher, you could try using a toroid in stead of a sphere for 
your top load.  Dennis Hopkinton MA

Well, for what it's worth, I've just completed assembly of "Kong Jr", my
3" SG coil. 1st light was not bad, but there's a bit of streamer breakout
at the top winding of the secondary coil.

See picture:

Raising the topload a bit has cut back the top winding breakout, but there
is still more than I want. The topload (spherical) is currently located
3.5" above the top winding.

Any ideas on getting that erroneous breakout minimized?

BTW: Thanks to all on the list, who have helped me
  on this project.
