A magnifier will work at 25 watts!  You need to design the system with
magnifier action in mind.  Throwing a third coil on a Tesla coil won't
work
at all.

Not in a million years!  I blew out a 15KV 60 ma in 1 minute 15 seconds
of
operation!  There is fearsome interaction taking place and the high
impedance secondary of a neon is just a great sink for a lot of loose
tank
circuit power.

Theoretically a magnifier can be constructed with billions and billions
(for
Carl) of extra coils attached!  Just supply enough energy, match the
line
impedance, and fire away.  R. Hull

 You should really ground the center of the secondary coil for best
results.
