As far as making a Tesla coil out of one, it doesn't sound like "coils" are relevant at such frequencies.

As we used to say in the effects biz.. "all ya gotta do" is scale 
everything... Chris's tube is probably about the size of a baseball bat 
(a meter long and 10cm in diameter)... so scaling up by a factor of 
5000.. his 100kHz tube will be 5km long and 500 meters in diameter. 
Then he'll need a new electron gun of comparable size.

Not hideously complex, but probably going to require a larger building 
than he now has.
