[TCML] Flashover Follow

[Miles Mauldin <teslamiles@xxxxxxx>]

I searched the archives and have read through the posts found regarding 
flashover or racing sparks.  My conclusions are that changing the top load has 
little effect in most cases, changing the bang rate can provide relief if it is 
not set properly and the only approach proven successful is decoupling for a 
lower k coefficient.  Did I miss any?

I increased power and have seen this effect a couple of times.  I want to 
address it before I continue any testing and potentially causing damage.  Of the 
many methods I read on how people decouple their coils my preference would be to 
raise the secondary (verses cutting out primary turns, unwinding turns of the 
secondary, etc...) Are there any opinions on one method verses another?

Thanks,
Miles
