RE: [TCML] Re: Toroid
What on earth are you talking about,was this message ment for me.if it was my torroid is 18" inner is 8".20" windings 1000 turns.12 turns quarter with quarter for primary.two nsts in parallel.and 25 salt water caps.I only get ,2" lightning to an earthed rod.that's my problem it's a big thing with pitifull results.and that's it lol.

The idea is to add both capacitance, while also increasing the corona formation voltage and thus the voltage that will result in a breakout. a higher breakout voltage will facilitate larger single sparks.
