I think more like a flyback on steroids ;)

Do you think there is a problem in that your breakrate is approaching the 
actual resonance of the coil??  I guess its only 1/5 the frequency, but its 
still getting close.

Hmmm, now im tempted to see what my SSTC looks like with full rectification 
:)  I never bothered to try it.

Really, with such a breakrate, i would imagine the sparks to be very smooth 
looking, and probably whip around violently.  I wonder what color they 
would be?  Maybe yellow from all of that heat?  Or maybe  still just 
purple.  I would really like to see what that would be like!
