Re: [TCML] smoking hot topload idea

[Gary Lau <glau1024@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think it might work well, though it won't be as good as a toroid as far as
field control and preventing corona/breakout at the top of the secondary.
Breakout will surely occur at the prominent lip, so I don't know that the
enamel coating elsewhere will be an issue.
