Yep, that might of helped. But I could tell the coupling was getting tight for the coil and that I would most likely need to pull the toroid down a couple inches for high power runs. I immediately thought of the corona ring because it was available. I may still remove the corona ring and lower the toroid a little in the future after I add end caps to the coil to make a variable toroid support fixture. The idea that the secondary may simply be breaking out early has been in my mind for some time. When Paul discussed it a little, I thought of one of Tesla's later patents about ROC on apparatus. Also, Paul talked about how my coil and Marcs have considerable stress at the top. Thus, the corona ring fit the bill to relieve the stress at the top which might promote early breakout. Lowering the toroid should produce similar results. Take care, Bart --Boundary_(ID_Nl8pu4gTvvE1mrpkMoTwZg) Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hi John,FutureT@aol.com wrote:

I wonder if it would have helped if the wire spiraled up to the toroid,
instead of going straight up?The idea that the secondary may simply be breaking out early has been in my mind for some time.
