Hi, I set up a flyback transformer to a basic 2n3055 pulse circuit and it works. except that I can only draw an arc of about half a centimetre (I am arcing to the pin that produced the longest arc).

I am using 8 AA battery's to power it for 12v and I have tried 15v with no improvement.
Is this to be expected when using a single 2n3055 (it does have a heatsink) with batterys? as I have seen various youtube videos of people using this type of set-up and the arcs are much longer.
would this set-up work any better in terms of getting longer arcs

Here is a photo of the flyback its self (I am thinking it looks like a small one).
