How about some different structures, instead of repeating always the
same thing? See:
Transformerless Tesla coil: Can't be simpler.
http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/tesla/mres4.html
A capacitive transformer coil: Very unusual.
http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/tesla/mres4ct.html
A transformerless magnifier: More complex but more efficient.
http://www.coe.ufrj.br/~acmq/tesla/mres6.html

Other versions were discussed in the list in the last months.
