[TCML] Tiny Mini TC sparks video

[Brian Hall <brianh4242@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are some fun little 1/2" sparks from a cute little baby tesla coil with a secondary of 4 inches - in length!  It's wound on a thick cardboard spool from the clear plastic bags you find in the produce section of your local grocery store.

The spark length is around 12% of the secondary's length - given that it's not even tuned and kind of sloppy in all but the secondary coil, is that decent for a first light?  I don't plan on spending too much time with this little thing.
My 4" diameter (18" long secondary) coil needs its primary coil layed out in a flat spiral and its tank circuit hooked up, I think I have all the tools and parts I need to do that now - its been a long time coming but its getting there.  The big one I want to build in a better quality then this cute little toy of a practice coil.
