Hi Ed, Thanks for your kind words. It might be possible to configure the coil into the shape of a ball, but the practical problem then becomes one of holding off the voltage stresses between overlapping turns as the coil begins to expand from magnetic forces. A simple helical coil distributes this stress evenly across the turns, thereby avoiding premature flashover across turns. Unfortunately, it only develops radial compression forces on the -- Bert --
