I thought that Oudin coils were generally thought of as being on the same 
form, and having the bottom turn of the secondary bonded with the primary. 
Someone please correct me if you feel that this is not an Oudin type coil...

All the design is based on Tesla's coil, except that I didn't have to hound 
my buddy to cut primary blocks for me on his mill.:-)
Dr. Resonance has described connecting the inner turn of the primary with 
the bottom turn of the secondary when using single horned pole pig 
transformers. That makes the bottom/inner turns both grounded.
The coil you see that I built here is also tied to ground where the top of 
the primary meets the bottom of the secondary.
I felt that this coil worked well for being powered by a 5/20 nst.

I like the way the bulb of the chandelier glows when the coil is operating 
near it.
