Now you're talkin'!  Actually, the coil would have to shimmey up that 
pole too! (you can't pipe the final resonator voltage at his power level 
very far.) 

 I think the toroid he's usin' is a bit whimpy fo the system size and the 
power level used.  I would imagine a 20-25 foot diameter and 6 foot cross 
section would be a real killer for that system provided the base of the 
coil was placed about 40' in the air.  Even for Bill, this would be a 
toughy though.  Where do you erect and fire such a monster?
