I could download the video from the address above in about 1.5 hours
without problems (256k dsl connection). The quality is good.
Impressive! The thing is probably safe, although looking dangerous.
I wonder about the intensity of the electromagnetic fields, as Faraday
cages don't block high-frequency fields effetively. Even if the
operating
frequency of the Tesla coil may be not so high, those arcs surely
generate
fields at very high frequency, that may cook the participants a bit...
