[TCML] Secondary Coil Capacitating

[Teslalabor]

Hi,
I have observed the same with my big coil several times, I think the coil 
builds two capacitor "plates" between a moisture-film on its surface (which 
always is present but invisible) and the windings itself. The sealing is the 
dielectricum.

Hi All,
I was running my coil tonight, something happened underneath the coil I 
wanted to check out, so I went to move the secondary, and it was shocked me. 
Nothing brutal, just a carpet spark, but it had been off for several 
minutes. Why (How?) is it storing electricity? Is it between the topload and 
counterpoise?
Thanks guys,
