My Tesla coil is languishing behind the door in the store room. The back emf from the primary resonant circuit kept burning out the 12kv neon sign transformers I was feeding it with, so at $85 a pop I shelved the project after burning out the second one. It was f**king awesome to watch when it was running though. Ever seen a plasma globe? The arcs coming off the top of the the thing looked just like the sparks in a big plasma globe, except they moved about 20 times faster and they were in open air. I could take a 4 foot floresent tube and hold it out over the thing and a big arc would jump off the top of it onto the fluro and the section between the arc and your hand would light up.
