Hello everyone!

I've been off the list for a while, but I was  pleased to see that a lot of 
my old coiler friends are still here! Space  limitation was the main reason I 
put the coil away for a while, but now I'm  moving into a cavernous old brick 
building with high ceilings and I'm  resurrecting my 8" x 34" coil and taking 
it from the breadboard stage to  something more permanent and portable. With 
three 60 mA NSTs, I was getting 6  foot+ streamers, but the space was just too 
small to push it any harder. Now I  plan to drive it with a 20 kV / 7.5 kVA 
bombarding transformer and see what  it'll do.

While the coil was set up and running, I did manage to take  some digital 
video of the streamers which turned out pretty good in some places.  A few 
months 
ago I dug out the DV tape and ran it through Adobe Premiere, and  tried 
slowing it down enough to see the streamers forming and dissipating. It  
actually 
came out better than expected, and I put it on YouTube last September.  Check 
it out here:

Looking forward to reading the list again and making bigger  sparks!
