Nice picture.  Exactly what I had in mind.  Thanks Scott.

Marko,
     I think I have seen coils like this, I would assume that it would 
improve efficiency, as there would be no ground, but It would have to arc 
from one end of the coil to the other to see this efficiency improvement 
(like twin coils).  See this picture.

Once again, correct me if I'm wrong guys.
Scott Bogard.

In that case, would a middle grounded secondary with primary around same
location, be more efficient than the traditional primary/secondary bottom
grounded?

All of the cylindrical secondary designs I've seen (which is not


many),

It seems to me that >99% of all coils that I've seen DO use cylindrical
secondaries...



place the primary coil at the bottom of secondary.  Would placing the
primary at the center of secondary improve TC efficiency, by letting


the


secondary take advantage of the lower part of magnetic field produced


by


primary?


Two problems with this.  Since the base of the secondary is grounded,
the mid-point would be at a potential of half its peak voltage, and it
would want to arc to the nearby primary coil.

Also, the pri-sec coupling would likely be too high, resulting in racing
arcs on the secondary coil.

Bipolar coils, where neither end of the secondary is grounded, do have
the primary at the secondary mid-point.
