The correct word is "without" a toroid.

>> Hi All
>> Well after my capacitor literally exploded and destroyed both the
>> primary and secondary of the first 1/4 wave TC, a new one has been built
>> and is in test. The specs are:
>> Primary: 7 turns, 1/4" tubing, 19" in diameter
>> Secondary: 390 turns #22ga, 0.050" overall diameter insulated wire, 14"
>> diameter, winding len:19.5", frequency len of wire: 217khz, wire length
>> 1429'
>> Measured Resonance of secondary is 210 khz. no excitation
>> With 5 x 20 toroid: 205khz
>> With two 5 x 20 toroid: 150 khz
>> Driver: 9kv x 120ma NST
>> Break: SRSG with 2 poles
>> Cap: .027
>>
>> Some of the test results:
>> Variac set no higher than 40 or about 50 volts input
>> Spark length:
>> No toroid: multiple 12" (+) arcs from top turn of sec
>> One toroid: 20" (+) from breakout point
>> Two toroid: 27" (+) from breakout point
>> Operating freq: with toroids: 140khz
>> Operating freq: without toroids: 190khz
>>
>> Note that the wire length frequency and the operating frequency with no
