Hi D.C.

Well for starters MeV has nothing to do with Tesla Coils (unless you're 
somehow using one to drive an accelerator). Assuming you mean 1MV then a 20" 
former would normally considered very small for 100kW+ power input.  Was 
your statement based on an actual measurement, or mathematical modelling of 
some sort?
