My 150W SGTC:
Cap Bank - 10nF 6400V Xfrmr - 5kV 30mA Primary - 9 Turn with 7cm In Diameter. Two Secondaries: One with the primary (800 Turns arround ~2.2' (5.9cm)) and secondary at free air with 1000 turns arround 2'. Topload - The Free Air coil has a block of aluminium with a iron bar pointing to other topload. On the other secondary there is a pvc cilinder with Aluminium foil arround. Sparks: 20cm
The free air secondary coil low side (in the beginning of the coil) is wired with the low side of the other coil. A different bipolar coil :P (Thats is not a good work, I making a new one)

This is Ghettor 98, being consisting of nearly 98% blood and rage, it is fully capable of burning out fuses and emptying my wallet. The coil is made of stools, tangerine boxes, cardboard, and duct tape, the contraption produces 2 foot long streamers in a pleasing ultraviolet tone.
