Hey guys! Well, I finally did it... I finished my first Tesla coil! Actually,
"finished" isn't quite the right word since I haven't put the toroid on yet.
But it does make sparks of about 3-4 inches from a screw mounted on the top.
My plastic-bag capacitor seems to work beautifully. By the way, what kind of
sparks SHOULD I expect to get out of a 15 kv, 30 ma xfrmr, assuming an ideal
design? I couldn't have done it without you people; thanks for all your help!
