Jim: I second Scot's comments. I, too, have had my coil in a local haunted
house two years in a row. The first seconds are startling to the person who
is NOT expecting the output. After that time...a big "been there, done
that."

But I wish you all the success. And get a good Intermatic commercial timer.

Hi Jim...

I have "presented" my coil publically ( is that a real word??)  3 times. 
Twice for haunted houses and once for a hi-school. The initial impact 
for a crowd is impressive for about 60 seconds...   after that it seems 
to wither rather quickly......   keep the run times short and about 3-5 
min apart ( let the crowds rebuild )   if you have the capacity to make 
10 + foot long arcs , the better.....

if you have any lasers working ...  use them as a back drop   :)
