The Oudin Coil is just a "standard" Tesla Coil with the inner most turn (or
bottom turn on a helical primary) of the primary connected to the bottom
turn of the secondary and both connected to ground. All Oudin coils that I
have seen have a cone shaped secondary. I believe that its to reduce primary
to secondary arcs. Here is a good website for more information...
