Richard,

O.K. I accept that. However, when people ask "Well, gee, what kinda power
ya puttin' out with that thingie". I want to be able to give an estimate
rather
than reply with "it's a mystery even to the best Tesla coil engineers...".

I guess input power. I could equate it to hairdryers. "Well, it's about one
and
a half hairdryers".
