Lots of talk about big toroids. I'm wondering: It
seems to me like the major factor determining breakout
voltage is the *minor* diameter of the toroid, and
that the *major* diameter has mostly to do with
increasing the capacitance. Is that correct? If so,
then why not simply create a rectangular topload using
90-degree sections of large pipe. If plastic pipe
were to be used, then conductive paint could be
applied.
