Hi.


Try to make a smaller toroid, that would be the best. If your sphere is too high

from the top of the secondary try to lower it.

I've encountered the same problems when trying a metal sphere with too small

radius. 

I say go for a toroid because it is impossible to insulate away the problem,

the pressure is just too high for any insulation to withstand on the top

of the sec. winding.


Good luck.
