Antonio,
This is interesting because I have been experimenting with various pri/sec 
ratios with the 
solenoid primary around my bipolar secondary (center fed). When I first 
started playing with these things I thought bigger must be better, and as I 
knew even less than I know
now (yes, it's possible), I wound a secondary around 18 inches long and 6 
inches in
diameter. I slipped this over the 20 inch long by 3.25 inch diameter primary. 
The arcing was spectacular but it was all between the primary and the 
secondary.

Perhaps I have completely misconscrewed your example given above but I surely 
do not understand how a pri/sec diameter ratio of only 1.3, and of the same 
length  can possibly work. An explanation will be much appreciated.

Cheers,
