The learning curve, construction labor, financing, and component acquisition
keep the general public at large from getting into tesla coiling. The
concept of a low voltage tesla coils might make building tesla coils too
easy. With 38 foot arcs dancing in many backyards, tesla coils might be
banned from many towns, which is what happened with fireworks.
