[TCML] Secondary Coil Capacitating

[Alice]

Hi,

This reminds me of an odd thing that happened to me with a decorative lamp. 
I touched it one day and it suddenly flashed on for just a split second.  I 
looked and it had been unplugged.  I wondered where that second of juice 
came from.  Is it a similar cause I wonder?

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,
