Re: Religious use of Tesla coils

["Kennan C Herrick" <kcha1-at-juno-dot-com> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

This is a sociological phenomenon that might be entertaining to look
into.  I wonder how many List members have encountered these situations? 
As I had posted some time ago, my first experience of Tesla coils was the
same as Luc's, except that it was in 1939 at the World's Fair at Treasure
Island in San Francisco.  I suppose it had to be the Moody Bible
Institute, though I don't know for sure.

Not a bit of the religious message stuck with me--but the sparks sure
did!
