| TABLE TOP TESLA COIL (tttc) |
| SPARKS ( max lenght 45 cm until now) |
| Next steps: more primary cap, better quenching, longer secondary |

| NEW !!! 18.09.2002 |
| My table top TC has a new vacuum spark gap. The streamers are now all around the toroid. 10 % increase in spark lenght. If you look attentively, you can see in the pics my glass plate capacitor glowing behind the TC. |

| MY NEW VACUUM SPARK GAP |
| MMC - IS THE BEST SOLUTION |
| Now, 55- 60 cm sparks to ground with a nail on toroid. The MMC consists in two strings, each of them composed by 10 capacitors connected in serie. I used 100 nF @ 1600 volts polietilene caps. The total capacity is now 20 nF. Tunning on the sixth primary turn. ENJOY THE LITTLE SHOW! |

| Nexy steps: longer secondary, inductive ballast for the PT, maibe an ARSG. |
