Quoting from the posting policy here:

" Posts pertaining to high voltage but not strictly Tesla coils (i.e.
Lightning, Marx generators, Jacobs ladders, high energy physics, etc) are
largely permitted, as they no doubt overlap with Tesla coils in some areas,
but should not constitute extended threads. "

So if this does not have anything to do with Tesla Coils, maybe we should
wrap this up, or take it elsewhere.
