I'd like to Get Greg's help! And Bill Wysock's, and a herd of others!

The 13M is a 1/5th scale model of one of Tesla's own coils, so I think that 
we could get prettey big before hitting the limit up of coil design. I'm 
interested in hearing what the limits are, and why.

the 13M is massive, and works in the 10s of Khz.
