There alot of schematics around. I would suggest that you visit
<www.pupman-dot-com> and go straight to the Tesla Coil Ring links that are
at the bottom of his page. There are about a 100 or so Tesla sites in
the web ring and they aare full of information.

These are the main items, if you can get your hands on these then you
can definitely build a coil. A neon transformer between 5-15 Kv 30-60
ma(from a neon shop), magnet wire (preferable size being 22 or 24
gauge)(from a electric motor repair shop), a piece of PVC pipe 4-6 in.
diameter (plumbing supply) and about 50 foot or so of 1/4 in. soft
copper tubing or some large wire (4-6 gauge)(either of these can be
bought in a hardware store).

I have built two coils myself, both being a success. Of course my first
was a little on the thrown together side but I got 19 inches of spark
from it. But my second coil, the one I use now, will let off about 34
inches of spark. So in other words just give me an email if you need any
help.
