All,
I can say, that with my Solid State Disruptive TC, 1 bang doesn`t bring 
much neither in length nor light.
I am not the analytical type, so I don`t have a chart over bangs/length but 
to get to the max. streamer length you need several bangs.
I saw the same behaviour in Steve Connor`s OLTC at the Derby Teslathon, but 
then, he built my controller and my coil is a 1/2 scale model of his, 
basically.
