Here are some of the things I have done with my coil.
-Stood on a milk crate, reached over and placed my hand on the top load of 
my coil. I then asked my friend to power it up. My hair instantly stood up 
and there were sparks flying off of my zipper and belt buckle. It didn't 
hurt though, but it will if you pull your hand away while it it still going. 
I heard that If you put thimbles on your fingers you can shoot sparks off of 
them the same way they shot off of my zipper and belt buckle. Don't try this 
if you have a heart condition or are using a pacemaker.
-held a flourescent lightbulb by its middle and slowly moved it towards my 
coil. It exploded when an ark hit it's end and it gave me one hell of a zap. 
Don't try this one.
-when I was doing a presentation to my classmates at school during science 
class, i performed the experiment where i put my hand on the top load and 
power it up. I had also discovered that your body holds the charge. I 
discovered this when i touched the sink afterwards, Ouch! Anyway, My friend 
turned the coil off and i walked over to the little annoying thinks he knows 
it all who i prove wrong every minute, and i drew a spark that i estimated 
to be at least 6 inches long right off of his forehead. Ha HA HA HA HA! Fun 
Fun!
