        Well, it's one way to elevate Tesla coil research to the level of a 
carnival side show. It's obvious that no one there, including the reporter, 
knew what they were looking at, or cared. The reference to a 
"Frankenstein-like static electricity-generating machine called a Tesla 
coil," was another nationally broadcast round of mis-information about TCs.   
This bizarre mixture of "Art," "Religion," and "Technology" (there was NO 
SCIENCE present) IMO damages the public's impression of everyone in the field 
as much as the perpetual motion/UFO/ lunatic fringe does. Hopefully you were 
well-paid.
