Don Smith coil

I just saw a schematic of don Smith coil and I try to make it as similar as possible to his coil but there are big references as it is missing the plasma spark gap and earth ground instead I represent it here as 10mf cap. if you open the sw between zener diode you a few Kv output with 50ma current when sw is close 20Amp is draw with stable output 160w.Any comment is well came.

I swapped out the 10mF capacitor for a 1.5v 15w lamp to achieve the "spark gap" as the lamp explodes. Same idea I use for my spark gap occilators either lamps or LEDs depending on current..... usually dependant on if I'm using magnetic locked motors or not. 👽
