Just a quick question.  Given your present knowledge gleaned from extensive
experimentation, don't you think you could build a 2-coil system that would
give
9.5 feet for 6KW input?  Also, I'd be real interested to know if you ever
fire at
higher powers outside your lab.  C'mon, I want fish stories!

Zap,
Mark

P.S.
Did you ever put my big coil photos (the coil on the trailer) into one of
your
videos?  I know you asked if you could a while back and I don't think I ever 

answered.  Sorry, be my guest.
