Re: New coil not working...

Thanks, all, I got my caps in parallel today and they now fill with
electricity when turned on. I haven't had a real chance to tune it, and it
would also be futile, as until next wednesday it is in the school (of course
with no suitable ground). But after that I will have to give it another go.

I really hate to be stupid, but what is variac?

Oh, and what about O3 poisoning? I was doing some research and found out
it's quite dangerous in high concentrations. After running my coil for a few
seconds the smell is quite strong. Do Tesla Coils produce enough ozone to be
dangerous in that sense? should I only be running it in a well-ventelated
area?

Thanks Again,
Greg
