A magnifier is just a large coil, with a top
capacitor. Feed it a few thousand volts
at the bottom, at its resonance frequency
and by the wonders of resonance and inductive
voltage rise you get hundreds of thousands of
volts out the top.

Get Duane Byland book: "Modern Tesla Coil Theory".

Have fun,
