Try this idea.
Put an 8" diameter aluminum foil pie pan on top of you TC secondary coil
with no toroid. I used a 4" secondary coil, 12K 30 ma neon.
Put about 1/8th cup of alcohol in the aluminum pie pan. Ignite the alcohol
and it will burn blue in the dark with a flame about 5" above the pan.
Turn on your TC. The flame and heat conducts the electricity and you will
get a 20" diameter ball of blue sparks that looks like a 20" ball of blue
steel wool sparks. Its very strange looking. Looks like several million
very tiny sparks running in all directions. It all radiates up and out like
a half sphere of blue tiny sparks. I don't know exactly how to explain what
it looks like. You will just have to try it and see for your self.

here about cool experiments and "Mr. Wizard" demos to wow our unsuspecting
friends? I like the styrofoam peanuts on the top of the coil, the ion
engine, many others. What are your ideas?
