An interesting way to get shocked (mildly)...

While a TC is running, reach over and pick up a secondary coil that's lying 
on the benchtop or something. 

!!!

Aron was running the old 4.5" system, and I decided to pick up one of our 
little secondaries (1.5" x 6" or so...my first) and, WOW did i drop that 
sucker fast!

The coil's are totally different in every respect (4.5" x 21" vs. 1.5" x 6"), 
but the field density around the 4.5" was still high enough to excite the 
smaller coil, in hand, 6 feet away. It must've been tuned on a harmonic 
somewhere, judging by the stout little pulses. That is before it got 
dropped/thrown ; )

What a great list. A fascinating subject, and always a wealth of meaningful 
information about it.

Impressive coil Finn - that's really something.
