Re: The worlds Largest Coil



If you are serious about this project you will need around $100K to do a
reasonable job.  If you don't have that kind of funding or support then
don't start because you will be wasting a lot of your hard earned money --
not to mention thousands of hours of lost time.

These brick towers are worthless for this application.
