Big machines like this are typically less efficient than there smaller
brothers and sisters.
I have not taken the time to run the numbers on the info you provided,
but if the system is well balanced and in tune and pulling 40kva, I
would expect to see 20-25 foot long arcs at minimum.
The height of the coil will also be a limiting factor to some
degree...
I assume from your question that you are not happy with the
performance
or it did not meet your expectations?
Kind regards,

Me and some friends built this coil. It's total height is 5 meters.
the
donut is 2,60 by 60 cm. the coil is 65 cm dia with 1200 turns of
2.5^2mm
installation wire. about 3.6 meter winding length. Cap, DR resonance
100nF, 80kv 4 in parallel.
We feed it with a 180kva 10kv yz5 transformer. Rectify the lot to
16kv.
ballast ensures 32kv on the cap. at 200 bps we draw 50-60 amps per
fase.
so roughly 40 kw. Max bps is 700.
Now the question. What kind of spark length should be possible from
this
coil?
Picture of the coil.
