Hi Dan...

not a good idea...  if it is producing 34" streamers and you are only 12"
off of the ground....
what is going to happen when the streamers decide to take the 12" path
along the plastic milk
carton to ground with you in the middle?

Tesla coiling is a spectator sport....   not a contact sport ;) ....
