Yes, I second that.  Mike has stated that he has done quite a large number
of "hardcore" tesla projects including
many giant pole transformer jacob's ladders, massive coin shrinkers,
including the 24kW, 90kV/270mA X-Ray powered
tesla coil.  So far, all I've seen is a lot of talk, but no photos or
detailed descriptions on performance, problems, and
lessons learned etc...  I am very interested in seeing some more information
regarding these projects and definitely some
pictures especially the x-ray powered tesla coil and descriptions on what
your 100kV+ spark gap looks like, how you
solved your corona problems on the primary circuit, etc...

I know that Terry does have public space available on the
www.hot-streamer-dot-com website for some photos etc...

Please post some!!!

Thanks
