but by default water is an ionic compound and theefore a charge carrier! in
this way, you CANT have de-ionised water because water itself is ionic!!!
The H+ ions will move electrons around very efficiently, and even a high
resistivity will not really be enough to stop a large amount of voltage!
Anyway, a tesla system is in no part DC!!! You may need to check your
facts...ill check mine too!
