A very impressive stunt is putting a saltwater moistened tennis ball in between a jacobs ladder, so as the arc climbs, it hits the tennis ball.

Using strontium or barium or copper salts makes for a very colorful display.

In general, flames conduct electricity. Putting a candle on the top of a TC is an interesting experiment. I wonder what would happen if you put something a bit bigger on a big coil?


A fine spray of salt water might be a way to prompt sparks to go a particular direction, for instance.
