DC powered Tesla Coil?

Has anybody here tried to make a Tesla Coil powered from the DC output of a
cascade multiplier? It seems DC arcs are a bit easier to snuff out than an
AC arcs from the output of even a neon sign transformer. I stopped coiling
over spark gap frustrations some years ago and because I have no "safe"
place to test a coil anymore. Below is a link to some pics of my simple to
make +/- 35-40kV multiplier powered off a 15kV neon sign transfomer. I've
had it make 4" arcs before.
