My Tesla coil is set up in a school building which has the steel girder
frame
very typical of institutional buildings.  Instead of sinking copper
pipes
into the ground, couldn't I just attach my ground wire to these steel
girders?  It seems the same idea to me, but possibly there is some
aspect of
this idea I don't see.  I don't want to blow up any computers in the
building, for instance.
    Thanks for the wisdom.
