Re: [TCML] Sudden and unexplained destructive racing spark flashovers

Hi Jim,

Yes, I did open this thread, since this did happen to my
Green Monster coil system back on June 26th. However,
Phillip Slawinski and Cameron Prince were there to wit-
ness the mishap and it was indeed Phillip who captured
the image of it that he posted on his Flickr page that he
was directing list members to, hence his use of the term
"we". ;^)

This information is not very useful.  We don't know the geometry of
the primary coils in question.  Knowing the coupling factor of these
systems would be far more useful.
