Thank You Professor; I will be making some longer spacers, I think rather
than adding discs. The spacers I have are 10.5mm .
I found a good tool for quenching the spark gaps, My wife's hair dryer set
on the"air only" setting produces a very high velocity concentrated stream,
works perfect!

You can increase the top load and use more turns, obtaining more power too.
Note that if you just increase the spacing between the disks in the top
loads the capacitance is increased almost in the same way as if more disks
are added. Distributed capacitances are proportional to linear dimensions.

Hello Professor; Thank you for your kind comments and advice. Please tell
me if I am correct in this, My primary on this Bipolar has 6 turns, It is
in tune using only the center 3 turns. Does this indicate that the coil
wants more top-load?
Doug
