It is helpful to keep in mind that a NST with a SRSG (or even with
a static gap), can provide double its rated power, esp if a step-up
type variac is used.  For instance, a 12/120 NST, although rated at
1440 watts, can actually deliver 2880 watts.  With this power, an
efficient coil should give 91" sparks.
