         Most such foam is heat-sensitive.  It will suffice for a
         toroid =only= if the point heating from a Tesla discharge
         does not melt or decompose the foam.

I have made several toroids (up to 14" dia) with styrofoam rings.  I cut
a
plastic disc to fit in the center and tape it in place with plastic
shipping
tape.  I also cover all the styrofoam with tape then cover the whole
thing
with adhesive backed aluminum foil tape.  They work great, are easy to
make
and are cheap.
