Original poster: russell dischar <hightechredneck2005@xxxxxxxxx>


Thanks for all your help,
last night about 1:00am I got her up and runnin. I ended up breakin one of my caps so now im down to 9 @ 680pf each. i went down to five segments with a total gap of about .15. my primary is an inverted cone type taped at about 17 turns. Im using an old turntable plate for my toroid. i ran it non stop for about 30 minutes last night and got about 12" streamers. right now ive got about 2100 turns of approx. .01 inches on a two inch former. (from about 3 different microwave oven fans.) It was the most awesome sight i ever seen. I tried hookin up a 15000v 30 ma transformer to see if i could get bigger sparks but they were about the same. thanks for the help once again. I am now addicted. Next step....... bigger sparks. im going to post a video on myspace it will be up in an hour or two. the address is <http://www.myspace.com/aedensmommy>www.myspace.com/aedensmommy .

if any of you can give me any more pointers on how to make a bigger discharge please let me know. thanks.
