We all know that pole pigs are expensive (definitely out of my budget) 
and NSTs can be hard for people in some communities to find.
One question I'd like to know the answer to is: Why are car ignition 
coil's not used for tesla coils?  I've read they output 20kv and up, and 
seen other HV uses for them (laser power supply).  Are they to fragile 
for tesla coil use?  Even if this is the case, replacements would be 
easily obtainable.  I assume they would be rather durable, as they run 
for hours strait, and I've never heard of anyone having to replace one.  
As for OBITs,  I'm completely ignorant of there availability, 
performance, and durability.  Any information, especially on the 
procurement of them, on them would also be appreciated.
