Stephane,

I've been a Canadian native for 43 years now and in my experience 
these things I said are ALWAYS true!  

I went to your web site.  Your coil is looking good, but I question 
the utility of employing a surplus computer hard disc multi-platter 
stak as a topload terminal if maximum performance is the goal.  Right 
now you have maximum uniqueness.

Welcome to the Tesla List.  We all look forward to being kept 
appraised of your progress.  Good luck.

Cheers,
