Tyler,

Tesla actually concieved this idea years ago. he thought it would be better 
to use this than regular wire. the metal would actually act as the insulator 
because the gas is so much more conductive.

he also notes in the colorado springs notes to use a glass tube under 
partial vacuum as the primary coil. it would certainly look cool when it 
glowed. but rather hard to tap when tuning. i don't think he ever tried 
this, under this journal entry he said, this to be followed up on later.
