I've tried my best to help fellow coilers.  I sent, at my own 
cost,  several 240V, 25A (approx...don't remember now...might have 
been 25A... They were huge though   haha) variacs to a few 
guys.  Gave a few to others locally.  I was going to send 5 HUGE 
spools of 12g wire to the Geek Group, so they could build the world's 
largest coil, but they ran into snags and Chris Boden never gave me 
an address where to send it.    It was miles of wire and would, even 
though stranded and THHN covered, have made one helluva secondary.  I 
Imagine there would have been about 5000 or more turns so the 
insulation would have been sufficient.....or heck...they could have 
used it for about anything.   I moved and wound up taking it to a 
recycler.   The only thing I ever got for my troubles was thank yous 
and one shrunken quarter from Bill the Arcstarter when I met him in 
person years ago....lol    I gave away hundreds of dollars worth of 
good equipment back then, because I could.   I was literally saving 
the stuff from the dumpster at work.   We had so many projects that 
required tons of equipment and it would pile up in the bone 
yard.  The guy in charge of keeping up with it would buzz me and let 
me know that I should go through and get what I wanted before the 
seasonal clean ups.
    I'd donate whatever I could to you if you actually tried to 
build a Tesla transmitter of the size/scale he did and really try to 
make it work.   Somehow, I don't see that happening though.
Best Regards,
Mike
     There's many projects  I'd like to work on, if I could JUST get
everyone else to help pay for them. ;^)))
