Hello,

We are trying to use a cell phone as a Tesla Coil trigger (when the phone
rings, the coil discharges) and were wondering if anyone had suggestions on
how to integrate the cell phone with the following solid state coil:

-------------SPECIFICATIONS-----------:
Tank Cap: 50nF, 4KV
Secondary Winding: ~1200 turns of 32 AWG magnet wire on 3.5" OD X 12" ABS
pipe Fres: 200KHz
Primary Coil: 7 turns of 10 AWG stranded wire on a 6" ABS form.
Toroid: 10" X 2.0"
Power Section: Full Bridge of HGTG20N60A4D IGBT's.
Spark Length: ~20" max off 120VAC outlet drawing about 160 Watts.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. The more detailed the instructions, the
