Malcolm,

        Surf over to Kristian's excellent site in Finland:

                                
        ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/electrical/tesla/

        in the misc directory you will find some excellent articles on
building tesla coils.  Look for the RQ*.* files there. Capacitor
construction, Spark gap construction, Secondary construction are all
discussed.

        in the pic (s) directory you will find some pictures of Tesla
Coils that others on this list have built. (1m - 10m [approximately;]
lightning bolts)

        cheers,

        jim

p.s. nic.funet.fi is SLOW tonight; here is an older directory listing:


- begin include -

Then get these files:
keely.hvcap.zip
caps1.txt.Z
coilbld.zip
sparkgap.zip

and decompress them.  You will find lots of good info there.

        cheers,

        jim
