Matt -

There are plans for a simple easy to build Tesla coil in my Tesla Coil
Construction Guide. The coil operates from 12 VDC and is very safe compared
to coils operated from 120 VAC utility lines. For a biginner the sparks at
first appear to be about a foot long  but you will find they are actually
about 2 inches long. With a 6" clear decorative lamp the sparks are 3" long.

The book has enough technical info and plans to build coils with sparks up
to 8 ft long. You can obtain the book from me or Lindsay Publications (Tel
815-935-5353) or 21st Century Books (Tel 970-453-9293). If you have more
questions please contact me direct.

Hello
I am a student in Sarnia Ontario,
Im looking for a schematic for a simple coil that I can build and experiment
with.

I have grade 12 advance physics knowlege,

Im looking to biuld one that wont arc more than an inch becuase I really
dont know how to control the thing, but I am very interested in learning
more.

PLease reply to my personal e-mail or send a copy to my e-mail so the list
can benefit too.

Thanks
