Dear Jean-Marc, and Tesla list Members,
This sounds facinating--please elaborate, if you could. Let me see if
I
grasp this concept--you could use a function generator at the stereo amp
input,
and, at the correct frequency, get a regular-sized telsa to resonate,
producing
sparks at the secondary output?
Thanks very much for replies from experts, commentary, etc.
