let's review our prefixes shall we?

Exahertz = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 ie. one quintillion cycles per second

Petahertz = 1,000,000,000,000,000 ie. one quadrillion cycles per second

Terahertz = 1,000,000,000,000 ie one trillion cycles per second

Gigahertz = 1,000,000,000 ie. one billion cycels per second (most computers
now run at one
or two gigahertz

Megahertz = 1,000,000 ie. one million cycles per second

Kilohertz = 1,000 ie. one thousand cycles per second (most tesla coils
operate at these
frequencies)

Hertz = 1 ie. one cycles per second (your line frequency is 50 or 60 hertz,
much lower than
a tesla coil)

Millihertz = .001 hertz ie. one cycle every thousand seconds

Microhertz = .000001 hertz ie. one cycle every million seconds

Nanohertz = .000000001 ie. one cycle every billion seconds

Picohertz  = .000000000001 ie. one cycle every trillion seconds

Femtohertz = .000000000000001 ie. one cycle every quadrillion seconds

Attohertz = .000000000000000001. ie one cycle every quintillion seconds.

at one Femtohertz that is one cycle every 32 million years!
you might be talking about Petahertz or 1,000,000,000,000,000 cycles a
second. a single
cycle at one Petahertz takes one Femtosecond. just thought i'd clear that up.
