For the  last century, the few real benefits of Tesla Coils in medicine has 
been  obscured by fraud and greed of those selling the devices.  We can all  
hope that through education this will change.

Regardless of the  medical use of the machines, the construction and 
operation of them is  neat.
So to keep this post on topic, has anyone else ever seen plans or  mention of 
another Tesla Coil operated from a static or influence machine  in particular 
(as opposed to an induction coil or transformer, etc).   Its not exactly the 
first experiment that comes to mind if you own one,  but I guess if you have 
a large Wimshurst Machine it would be a neat  addition to go with your 
Franklin Bells and Ion Motor...

Hi Jeff,
 
If, over the last decade, education has not been able to purge the  quacks 
from our list, I don't hold out much hope for the general public.
 
For modern day TC-based total quackery, see eBay item   330151463592.
