Hi, The first picture makes me wonder if the top load is too small. The air streamer seems to have placed quite a load on the coil. Since his firing voltage is only about 12kV, the air rushing over the gap may just be enough to blow the bang out occasionally. It could quite literally depend on "which way the wind is blowing". When he gets the coil to charge to 20kV, this problem should dissappear.
