In several diagrams of the tesla coil circuit layout, I have seen two 
different types of grounds labeled - what appears to be a normal 
ground, for the transformer and such, and an RF ground. Is this 
saying that the third little hole on my extension cord is not 
sufficient to ground the base of my secondary coil? Am I meant to 
drive a six-foot stake into the back yard to ground the secondary? 
For the record, if it makes a difference, my goal is to have visible 
sparks, not to scare the neighbors - my power source will be no 
greater than 15000 volts.
