The Phoenix This is my current 8 inch coil which was built as a result of an incident with a neighbour. The coil is shown here with a static gap, but it now has 200bps SRSG and a 'John Fraeu' type phase controller.

This shows how an initial 'streamer' can occur and heat up the air immediately above it. This makes the air more conductive so a fresh streamer follows the line of pre-heated air and makes another streamer. This in turn heats a new path higher up, and so the cycle repeats. Each new streamer following the same winding path of the one underneath.

The fluorescent tube above the coil is switched off and is glowing solely from the RF energy of the coil.
