Jim, All,
Is there a way to guesstimate the voltage of a bipolar coil other than by the 
spark length? The terminal voltage increases as the ends are spread out from 
the center
and approach the half-wavelength separation. That's where I get a lot of nice 
streamers,
corona, and nice smelling ozone. I run the coil in a large basement. The 
streamers will
grow depending on how close I let the coil get to ground.

Happy day,
