Gee Bert, you might be in the same boat as I am with the neighbors. Just
wait and see, let them talk a while and see what they start to say.
something like "OH NOW I KNOW WHY MY TV...." hahaha ..
Anyway, did you take a look at my coil (the second one) yet? Can you give me
a basic idea on how to build a magnifier? I have a coil wound with 724 turns
of #24 wire with a form diameter of 4.5 inches. Can I use this for a
magnifier? OR am I just stupid? I have no clue how or why a magnifier works
but I hear it is nothing but a second secondary coil tied to the top of a
regular tesla coil.
Let me know by private email.
Thanks!!

Kevin Nardelle
