Original poster: "by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <Beans45601-at-aol-dot-com> Could you use a Wimhurst (i think that is what it is, it is the thing that has the 2 glass plates with hetal strips on it and they both spin in a diffrent direction) to power a tesla coil. Of cource, you would have to run it with a motor of some sort, would this work? Thanks Adam
