back in 1999 I uploaded a video of my first tesla coil on google video, just type (tesla coil slayter) its 7 minutes long, my coil had a couple of very long single discharges just like that but I used the richard quick gap not the rotary

Thanks for the link to your video. After all these years yours is the first I've seen with the same effect.I think it has to do with the fact that that the current in the coil does not in fact flow through the coil but in the field surrounding the coil.You can see that by changing the speed of the rotary gap we could get the discharge to sync-up and stand still.We did this many many times so I don't think it was just a fluke.Thanks for your link,you are the first to show this same effect.

the electricity cant leap back to metal or gases that are the same potential it is therefore it stays in the middle, you can use this law to guide the discharge, if you put a sharp point on your ball and a hoop of wire in front of it all electrically connected together the same the arc jumping from the needle point will veer away from the hoop in front of it, the hoop must not arc out so insulate it or use something that is smooth or large diameter like copper 1/2" tubing

well you can see I had no point discharge point and no target so I don't see your point!!!!

What beautifully eerie music...

you using nst?

You just created a working lightsaber XD

My coil setup also produced a floating streamer for a short period of time. Standard static spark gap 9kv 30ma with sphere topload. Video is "Tesla Coil - Rare Floating Streamer". Nice coil you have there by the way.

also used for the soundtrack on The Exorcist movie

sorry Im off subject, You have a working plasma channel tesla coil, good job, try routing the arc by putting smooth conductive

obsticles in its way that are connected to its top load. keep building onto your tesla coil. Dont give up. Your experiments will inspire future coilers to new levels beyond the old classic coil
