Re: [TCML] racing arcs

A perfect racing arc photo. This can happen on sphere's as well (it is 
not a "toroid" thing). Racing sparks occur due to coupling between 
primary and secondary and sometimes when the system is slightly out of 
tune (when that occurs usually the power is little high for the coil).

Take care,
Bart
