Not exactly!
Ciao Darwin is not a technical show but an entertaining ones, the host 
made many technical mistakes in his monologue, some of them was caused 
by lack of knowledge but many others deliberately added to scare viewers 
and competitors, the script contained approx 20% of
real technical informations and 80% of pseudoscientific informations!   :-D

For the pleasure of those who do not know the Italian language, I will 
tell you the best one:

how many volts you get if you cross the Tibetan bridge if there are 4 
Tesla coils of 1 million volts (!!!???!!!) each?
4 millions volts of course!!!  (!!!!!!........!!!!!!), after the Ohm's 
and Chirkoff's laws, we added this new one, the "Bonolis's law"!    :-O  :-D


Anyway, this is only the first time in TV for italian teslacoils (except 
some brief apparitions in small local televisions in occasion of some 
public teslathons), this was a BIG apparition, an excellent chance to 
make history,  so probably we will have others occasions in future in 
other (more technical) programs.


Ciao!
Fabio.
