It would only work in a very tiny Tesla coil. You really need a potential
of 5 kV or more (usually 10-15 kV best) for good performance. Dissipating
that high current at that low of a potential makes the spark gap design
difficult -- you need multiple gaps to dissipate the heat and the catch 22
is you don't really have enough potential to discharge across multiple
gaps.
