BTW - Bill Lemieux says that commercial Tesla coils made in Boulder (~5400
feet above sea level) perform remarkably BETTER at LOWER altitudes!! There
was a problem that they would arc much further than expected when delivered
to sea level customers...
Just throwing out a guess-
These commercial coils are disruptive coils?
Yes.
Perhaps the spark gaps quench better in the denser air, offsetting any
gain that the thinner air might have afforded the secondary streamers
themselves?
Possibly! They though that arcs just travel further in dense air. But
that seems to go against all the data... I will ask Bill about it the next
time I see him...
Perhaps a DRSSTC could be run off a small UPS (just little arcs). Then it
could travel 12,183 feet above sea :

If so, good thing it's a lot easier to pressurize a spark gap than to
de-pressurize an entire coil...
