The usual accepted value is around 8.6 kV per inch of spark.  This value
does vary somewhat with the size and power level of the unit and especially
the break rate of the RSG (rotary spark gap) as a higher break rate tends
to "pump" more energy into the already established electric field and
increase the spark lengths.  Coils with spark lengths in excess of 10 feet
usually require around 1.2 kw per foot of spark length.  This value is also
lower for "magnifier" type coil systems.
