Hello,

I was wondering how significant the firehazards relating to Tesla coils
are.  The spark gap will generate a large amount of heat for sure, but
how dangerous are the secondary streamers on, say, a 1kW coil?  Could
they easily ignite materials such as wood or paper with a single strike?

Thanks,
Chris
