Hi Dan,

You might try building a controller with keyed on/off  and use non standard
connectors to power your toys.  That way the kids can't play with them when
your gone, and give your wife some peace if mind.

Your wife might be an electrophobe.  I know, I had a shorted plug go up in
my hand as a kid.  Seeing a plug thats supposed to be safe turn into a
fireball and completely blacken your hand, can scare the crap out of a
little kid.  I still remember it every time I plug something in.  If
anything it made me more carefull around electricity.  Your wife might be in
the same boat.  You might want to take her to some Teslathons and let her
talk to some other Tesla wives, or TCML guys, get your wives to talk to her.

  Just remember marrige is a two way street, you both have to give.  It might
mean having to stick to small tabletop coils, and scrapping the big ones,
and she's going to have to let you play with the small ones.  Plus you can
always build maggies to get more sparklength!
