Final Version of SGTC

I made some changes to the coil before tuning and running it again.
First, I replaced the corroded spark gap with fresh pieces.
Second, the size of the coil did not match the tiny size of the previously used topload. I needed more capacitance. Previously, I was unable to find a toroid large enough. That problem has since been rectified. By using a slightly larger tire, I made a stacked toroid.
Final results of my first SGTC are significantly better than the original run.
Now, the streamers created are significantly longer and more visible than the previous version's
Furthermore, ground strikes are now nearly a foot long.
