Hi Dr. John,

I use a small 1.5" by 6" spun toroid, but I attach a 2.5" nail on top
of the toroid as a breakout point.  I haven't tried to get it to break
out to the air without the topload.  I did try with a VTTC that gives a
19" spark, and it refused to break out.  On that coil, I gained an inch
of spark length by using the toroid (with breakout point).  I haven't
tried this new coil without the topload.  Actually the old coil and the
new one uses the same 3" by 12" secondary and its primary, but
I'm using more input voltage and power.

Regards,
John Freau
