Coilers,

Someone the other day told me to be careful with Tesla Coils cause they 
can produce *dangerous* x-rays. I was just wondering if anybody ever 
measured any x-rays produced by TC's? I told the guy that I didnt think 
so - I thought you had to have a decent vacuum to create x-rays. I would 
amagine the UV produced by the spark gap (and streamers?) is much more 
dangerous than any x-rays that are produced (if any?).
So, does anyone have any info on this?
