[TCML] Tesla coils on italian TV show!

[David Rieben]

Hi,

Yes, I recognized words like "Tesla", "volts", "million",  and a few
of the other words for cardinal numbers. If my extremely limited
knowledge of Italian (as in none) serves me correctly, I believe
they were saying that the coils' output were "a quarter-million volts"
i.e. 250 kV. Fabio may wish to correct my poor interpretation. ;^)
