Re: Corum Dual Secondary Tesla coil

Ball lightning may also be more electrostatic than RF in nature. It used
to form all the time under the v-shaped area of guy wires on a large hill
near a local radio station. The balls would form then detach -- sometimes
following the guy wires, sometimes not, but also seeming to have an
attachment for the feeder power line to the stations xmtr. As kids we used
to watch them during very hot summer evenings and prior to a local NW cold
front approaching the hill. The hill formed a natural divider between the
cold front from the north and the warm front to the south of the hill. The
engineers wife was nearly killed by one that came in thru a wall and
exploded near her. After that incident they regrounded the tower and now
they don't form as they used to. Many times there would be a pile of
leaves "sucked" in around the tower base apparently by electrostatic
effects. No leaves pulled in -- no ball lightning formed. Odd.
