In one of the early videos i made of the triggered gap firing my little test coil, I noticed something very strange. When the safety gap would fire the normal 2' or so leaders all of the sudden turned into a series of very faint short streamers, many, many of them equally spaced around the toroid. This baffled me because i assumed that any tank charge would be dumped into ground? I looked and looked at this without any good explanations coming to mind, I mean it happened every time the safety fired. Then i got to thinking, Maybe this charge isn't coming from the toroid at all, maybe it is the surrounding space charge being drained into the toroid to ground somehow? It sounded like such a far fetched idea that i never posted it, but it does seem some of them were actually dissociated from the toroid. I know this really doesn't help us any, but i thought i'd toss it out for review.
