Gentlemen:
From the snappings and cracklings of one : Scott Myers

SM>Yes, Richard Quick is right.
SM>My first coil, and others since, have the bottom of the secondary
SM>and the inside of the primary grounded together. And they work
SM>well. They may not tune as sharply, but I assure you, they are
SM>indeed Tesla coils. My first was from plans
Neh - neh - neh. There are high-voltage resonant transformers.
The design was stolen from Dr. Tesla, who disavowed any further
association. A little show of respect (for Dr. Tesla!), please.
And see, please, my longer utterance on the subject, appearing
in a nearby post.
SM>done by Information Unlimited. Many people here know of Resonance
SM>Research and Mr. D. C. Cox. This is a professional company that
SM>makes coils. Guess what? They use a common ground point on one
SM>side of the primary and the secondary.
They are thieves, then, in my opinion, and if they are calling
their product "Tesla Coils" then they are insolent thieves.
SM>coiler, or any professional coiling company, will tell you can
SM>ground one side of the primary and secondary together and have a
SM>nice working Tesla coil system
Yes, it makes a very nice working =high-voltage resonant
transformer=. (If you are going to steal something, at least
steal something that works well. That's my motto.)
All that sparks is not Tesla (or words to that effect).
SM>out the grounded primary. They work well. And because one side is
SM>grounded, they are inherently a little more safe.
We have no argument here.
Yours in honesty,
