    We are currently getting arcs about 15" to 19" long.

    Try Dave's tesla page for more details about this coil and more GIF's and AVI's.

    If you are interested in astronomy or optical design check dave's home page for information on an advanced tilted-component telescope that he designed.

The object at the right is a wood rod with a ground wire attached to the end. You can see
the corona between the rod and the coil's discharge terminal. Whenever we have a grounded
object close to the coil but too far for an arc to form we get a huge amount of corona.

In this picture you can see a neon lamp that is taped to the end. This coil not only lights
up that little neon it also lights up the 8 foot flourescent tubes on the ceiling
 above the coil! You can see this in the videos'.
