Re: Automotive ignition coils and small 
    Tesla Coils
	About a year ago I built a small coil (3" diameter by 14"
long, wound with #30 wire) and fired it up using a 12 volt ignition
coil, transistor driven, straight gap, and o.0047 mfd doorknob
capacitor.  The terminal on top was a 2" doorknob (I know a lot
better now) and it put out 4" streamers and about the same sparks
to a grounded needle point.  At the time I thought it was working
pretty well.
