Please.... PLEASE do not head off half-cocked, and start taunting
government agencies!  There are already standard procedures for 
operating unique multi-megawatt RF facilities, if you just go out 
and do a small amount of research.  Bribes or favors are not required,
and convincing *any* bureaucracy that Tesla Coils warrant special
attention is a recipe for disaster... not only for Avalon, but for 
any other organization that wishes to operate in that parameter space.

I apologize for having to be so dry and serious about this point.
