NO! NO! NO! A flyback transformer has NOTHING in common with a Tesla
coil in ANY way shape or form! There was a rather long thread on this
matter not that long ago. The last time I saw an actual Tesla coil
used in a TV was in one of the very early electrostatic deflection
TVs.

Now you cooking! I might add that the deplorable educational system
in this country still insists that Marconi was the inventor of radio,
so much so that my daughter was suspended when she bought in a copy
of the Supreme court decision that Tesla NOT Marconi was the rightfulrightful
inventor of radio!
