Hi Darin...


sounds like you have an " Inverter " that supplies power for automotive
type of neon systems. Since
the input is DC, the output may also be DC.  If this is the case, the total
power out will be almost
too minimal to make a Tesla coil with. ( output is probably 2KV -at- 10mA.
just enuf to run a couple of
3' neons).

If we had more info on the unit we could give you more definate info :)
