  The VSWR is one way to measure the tuning of a Tesla coil when sparks
are
not present. If Tesla coils are used in space where there are no sparks
the
VSWR will indicate maximum output. A VSWR graph for Tesla coils is shown
in
my Tesla Coil Notebook. Refer also to my post to John Freau regarding
his
comments on Corum's VSWR findings.
