EVERYTHING will be throughly documented and published. I'm a fanatic for 
notes :) And I would love to do anything I can to further the research of 
the Tesla Community.

The current design is 660VAC, though the thought of a 15KV feed at a 
reasonable amperage for 1MVA has been kicked around. I like the idea, it 
will easilty get us the record and it would not be appreciably harder to 
design. I am seriously thinking this is the way to go. If yer onna build 
one, might as well go all the way :)

I dated a HAARP player once :)

Kinda like that little thing from DARPA.....i think they called it the 
internet or something...it cought on rather well.
