Charge contained is very close to solid type, which means that we arrive  
at the same expected capacitive load as calculated with JavaTC, breakdown  
voltage is unknown to me.
Greg Leyh might tune in here, since he introduced this type of toroid to  
the coiling segment of high voltage. I have seen similar (well, slinky  
type, really ) constuctions in pictures of russian power plants, so  
perhaps there is russian litterature about this subject, but where is  
Father Dest these days?
Bert Hickman, master of the litterature, Help us out here!
With relation to preferred frequency of operation: Thumper is resonating  
around the 35kHz mark.....
