Hi Gerry,

It gets into shielding the fancy electronics from the Tesla coil's E-fields 
and then going to AC motor control stuff.  Pretty complex considering that 
normal SRSG stuff works pretty well for gap timing.  Of course, a full 
feedback thing would be COOL if that is what you are into.  "I" know a lot 
about the shielding part.  I also have a lot of test equipment to work 
things out with.

Of course, the real thing that caught my eye is that you live in Fort Fun 
like "I" do too ;-))  I am at 641 S. Loomis.  We should meet up.  Not to 
many active coilers in town, but Denver has monthly high voltage 
meetings....  Chip (the Tesla list owner) is in the Broomfield area and 
Bill Limieux in Denver is rumbling about making a new giant coil ;-))

Cheers,

         Terry
