Re: [TCML] A New Kind of Valve Coil



Beautiful work Phillip, I am sure that we'll see a lot of more experiments in this "controlled voltage feeding systems" area. Your growing spark images resemble very much with the streamer formation I see on the high speed movies of lightning bolts. I think that V-envelope control is a good method to grow very long sparks.
