The solid state coils are neat but usually require a fair amount of time
and experience (and equipment) to set up and get operating properly. I
would suggest you consider a small to medium size coil operated with a used
neon sign transformer. Component count is low (only .54 major parts) and
they are easy to build. You can obtain a FREE design guide for a small
system with 24 in long sparks by sending a 9 x 12" size envelope with
approximately $5.00 affixed postage (Mexico -- but must be US postage) to
Resonance Research Corp, E11870 Shadylane Rd., Baraboo, WI 53913. The
information in this small booklet will help you get started in the right
direction.
