Hi Steve, Hey, I want to ask if you have been along the way during tuning, have you at all tried changing the length of the breakout point at all? Out of curiosity what is the current length? Could you also give your toroid size again? I don't remember what it is. This does make a difference. As I have increased power levels I have been adjusting this. You don't want it too long, it will breakout earlier as you turn up the variac, and the spark length will suffer. Too short, and it will breakout later and suffer again. It does make some interesting "spoiled" multiple very "branchy" sparks though. You want to find a happy "medium". Even if you think you have it, try other tuning changes, and try varying this again. With experimenting, you should find best length at the power level and tuning changes you are currently at. Makes a difference, at least on my coils.
