        Welcome to the the group!

        If you're interested in Tesla coils - you =have= come to
        the right place.

        If you're interested in lightning generators you have made
        a wrong turn on the information super-highway.  Lightning
        is essentially the hyperbolic opposite of the discharges
        to be obtained from Tesla coils!

        Tesla current is =high frequency= high voltage, essentially
        ac.

        Lightning is static electricity - essentially dc.

        Don't despair - I've excellent news:  There is but one way
        to generate Tesla current - Tesla coils (surprise!).

                                - but -

        High-voltage static electricity (lightning if you please)
        can be generated by a dozen or so different classes of
        devices.   There's much more variety, and the overall
        experience(s) with these types of apparatus are =much=
        more exciting than anything possible with mere Tesla coils.

        For Tesla-ing, stay here with us and enjoy.

        For lightning, its kith, kin, and ilk, there's the High
        Voltage Mail List  (hvlist-at-anchorage.ab.umd.edu) hosted
        by Mr. S. Roys.

                                Regards,
