At a cost of how much extra power consumption though? In other words what 
was the "Freau Number" (spark length divided by square root power 
consumption) for your coil in 6k bps pulse mode compared to say standard 
200 bps?

I would bet that it is less efficient (lower Freau number) at 6k than at 
200, otherwise our theories on streamer growth are all wrong.

I'll say :-o

What were those? Was that the extra inductors that you added or something?

MPEG format (.mpg file) seems to be best. DivX is good too but the free 
version is adware. You can easily convert between formats, resolutions, and 
frame rates with the free VirtualDub software. But you don't get something 
for nothing, compression always hurts quality, you just have to go for the 
biggest file that you think people will be bothered downloading.
