Phil,
>From what I have heard about the kits offered, if you buy one and
follow the instructions it won't work. Then you have to do your own R&D
to get it to work. In the process you learn how a Tesla coil works.
This is not
cheating. If you buy a kit that does work, that IS cheating.
If you buy a ready made operating coil, that is not cheating either,
nor is it Tesla coiling. It is merely buying a neat toy!
