	Hi!
I agree that MOTs makes tesla-coiling more dangerous, but for some people
MOTs are only available power-source to use.

For example, nearest place where I could get NSTs is over 200KM from where
i live.

In my country  maximum allowed voltage of NST is now 6KVAC, so I would
have to use two NST together to get greather voltage and I havn't found
two NSTs with same current ratings.


I know that NSTs are better in many ways, but I have to be satisfied with
MOTs.
