    I think that's an interesting idea, but would  probably only be practical 
if you consider the NST as a trigger for the Jacobs  Ladder. 
    Hook the MOT across the main JL electrodes, and  connect the NST HV 
terminal to an electrode between the main JL electrodes. The  trigger electrode can 
be a small needle or piece of wire. I'd use a single-ended  NST (or flyback, 
or induction coil) and tie the grounded end of the NST (or  whatever) to the 
same JL electrode as the grounded end of the MOT  secondary.
