A red spark can be produced by adding a hydrocarbon, or ammonia, to a biphasic spark. Or add a strontium salt. With pure electricity, power the transformer with an inverter which in turn is powered at a substandard, barely adequate voltage.
Martin: A sketch isn't really needed. Just look inside the tube and see which pin goes to the very center, to the filament. Hook the battery negative there, with the positive to the grid. I just verified that the transformer can actually go to either end of the filament, since the grid is the filament's output connection. The grid then modulates the HV current through the tube, inverting the input signal. The jumper wire clips to the HV input and arcs to the output arc from the tube's top hat electrode back to the transformer. I'm using a #10 wire here, which heats up enough to melt its insulation after several seconds, while the other two, smaller, wires only get warm.
I'm really interested in your green spark with red in the middle, since this may relate to Alcubierre's Warp Drive equation, on the negative side. I'll check into to your setup.
Aaron: The longitudinal energy is in my spark only, where the two phases interact. But you're right, the spark does have an affinity for right angle bends, although there is also some gentle deviations from a straight line.
