 Hi all,
	Even though i'm pretty new to this, i do think i have some input i 
can say about this. I was fortunate enough to attend the SoCal Teslathon and 
see both a Magnifier and a BIG tesla coil spit out arcs the same size using 
the same exact PIG. Both coils were very impressive, but the Mag(if i 
remembered my info correctly) sucked up about 75amps and threw around 10-15 
foot sparks while the normal coil sucked 100amps to make the same size spark. 
Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
