 I don't have any photos of my own, since I don't have any camera decent
enough to capture the sparks. It's just a bunch or small sparks/arcs jumping
around on the surface of the secondary between windings. They aren't very
big, only about, eh, 3-5" I would say..

 No, the voltage max will still be at the top, even if quite

Which reminds me, I used my TCT this time around and discovered that I don't
have enough primary turns to achieve matched resonant frequency. I guess
that should've been important enough to remember... :P

Thanks Paul,
