That's a monster coil then!
What's the power level of it,longest sparks,resonant frequency?

I'm always intrigued by how the sparks tend to "stick" to a particular 
landing area (not a point) for some time, and then move on. In this 
video, there's a few seconds where all the sparks seem to go towards the 
overhead beam, but then it goes back to hitting the ground or heading to 
camera left. This isn't unique to this coil, but lots of them appear to 
do it. I doubt it's a "shifting air currents" thing, but maybe it's 
really a random walk sort of thing, and the human brain tries to see 
patterns.
