well I was wondering if you could run a small tesla coil of of a timmer circit
and a flyback of car ignition coil without the capacitors in the primary. 
correctme if rong bu arnt the caps for timing in frequance and couldnet you use
like a timer at the same frequancey as the coil?  this would be for small coil.
