Thanks.  My Electronics teacher said to make the secondary closer. it was 
origionally much higher. LOL. He also said to make it multi-layered.

I beleive I can mqke the secondary higher, and i'll try to unwind it down 
to the 1st layer, but I don;t think the first layer is very tight. so 
basically, I tink I'm screwed, but we'll see.
I like that name.
Thanks.

               Steven Steele
By the way, my electronis teacher is the ond who set his dorm wall on fire 
at Georgia Tech with his Tesla Coil. LOL.
he said it was multi-layered and that he used nail polish. I'm beginning to 
doubt that now.
