Re: [TCML] 60ma Coil Discharge - comments welcome
Hi Steve,
Your strike ring is too high. The resulting high E-field between the
ring and secondary creates "Christmas Tree" corona between the secondary
and strike ring. Lower the strike ring a couple of inches or eliminate
it entirely.

This is a picture of our coil with the 'new' 60ma NST with 135uF run
capacitors.
You can see one of the flashes (possibly caused by lint) and a strange
corona running like 4 searchlights from the top of the strike rail
supports (insulated) up to the toroid - we've never seen that before -
anyone know what is causing it?
I'll clean and varnish the coil and take another picture when it's
ready.
Steve
