Paul, Boris, all, This was an early toroid. It's smooth, but does not hold a steady ROC. There's a concentric ridge which is sharper (tighter curve). It breaks out from there if I put that part on top, but it breaks out from a more even area if I put that part on the bottom. this area is about 20 degrees from teh horizontal. The toroid always breaks out 20 to 24 degrees above the horizontal. > > 4)Bang size energy varies or is higher.

***************
In normal atmospheric conditions (20 C,1 bar,normal
humidity factor 1) 19 Kv/cm can not support corona
ignition by no means.
Somehypotesis regarding this pecularity arise :
1)Toroid geometry isn't pure toroidal or geometry
togather with coil body isn't defined very precisely.
2)Toroid isn't perfectly smooth but this case is
hardly to belive knowing John's expertise in making
them.
Paul, Boris, all,
This was an early toroid. It's smooth, but does not hold
a steady ROC. There's a concentric ridge which is sharper (tighter
curve). It breaks out from there if I put that part on top,
but it breaks out from a more even area if I put that part
on the bottom. this area is about 20 degrees from teh
horizontal. The toroid always breaks out 20 to 24 degrees
above the horizontal.
4)Bang size energy varies or is higher.
I did some more measurements for the TT-42 coil,
and the bang size may possibly be even higher than
I thought. It may be as high as 5.2J or so.
Cheers,
John
