Hi Gene,

Yes, Nikola Tesla ran his coils immersed in oil.  He discusses this in his
book Inventions, Researches and Writings.  He notes that the over all
improvement is very good.  I have plans for building a flat spiral secondary
system completely submerged in oil.  But first, I need to build an oil
insulated spark gap (Tesla has 6 or 7 patents for these) as most of the
losses from the system leak from the spark gap.
