I never said it was a tesla coil! If you look, you will see that I made
distinctions between the superconducting resonator and a tesla coil.

This need not be true. There could be plenty of other devices that aren't
around right now that can do it. For example a beefy Cockroft-Walton
voltage multiplier fed from a 100kV power line could produce
"ultra high voltages at ultra high powers". Also what makes you think the
superconducting resonator can't handle large powers? It's superconducting
after all.

Power is independent of waveform. Why assume that the resonator I am
talking about is going to need damped sinewaves when used as a linear
particle accelerator?

My message was meant for interest only. I do not advise anyone to start
building anything with a superconductor in it if they don't have lots of
money or work in a lab =)

Have fun,
