The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.
Did you played some music through your QCW? does your buck-modulator and interrupter allows playing music?
I haven't made a music controller made for the QCW but the modulator accepts any sort of signal input, so yes should have no problems playing most sorts of music. Would probably work great with the bass notes :)

Wow, that's a great shot. It's amusing to see these enormous sparks coming from a tiny secondary. High speed footage of the spark formation would be great.
I did a write-up on this coil. Hopefully it'll be useful to everyone! Still working through it, so let me know if there are any mistakes. QCW 1.5 Writeup page:
I managed to get a lucky single shot photo which shows the spark climbing up very straight.

Wow this is really cool stuff! So the bigger topload increased streamer length?
I also wanted to try that but unfortunately i killed my QCW coil some time ago -__- Did not try to much to bring it back to live since then... Need to do that in the near future! I just tried a different primary tap to see if it increases streamer length. After a few bursts the coil died quiet and the electrolytic caps in the buck stayed charged so i guess the bridge and the buck are still alive.

Looks really nice. Looking at these highly coupled coils, isn't it possible to build a QCW magnifier and make the coupling even higher and a smoother E field without the danger of a flashover?
