[TCML] Touching 500Kv Tesla coil

[Binny]

I would encourage not to try that! It might not kill you but it will hurt so 
please for the sake of the coiling community and yourself ,forgo this kind 
of expirement using any kind of T/C. If you have to, use an electrostatic 
machine like a Van De Graff,Wheimherst,or Dirod. Aside from the possibility 
of stopping your heart there is also danger of permanent nerve damage,and 
deep,painful,and slo healing RF burn. I am pretty shure all of the coiling 
community would agree with me on this one...  Long Arc's and Bright SAFE 
sparks to ya ...  Binny...
