Is this "tesla rifle" anything like the Lod tasergun?

Do you have a scan or a link to this "Tesla Rifle" SSTC ?

Also, is that 5.5kVA number correct - seems like quite a bit of power to get
only 9.5 feet of arc? And any details on the topology you are using?
Pictures?

I don't know. My classic TC's break that rule all the time. Even my small
minicoil running at 200 Watts breaks the one foot mark.
