Should work great.  My 15kv/120mA coil was hooked up a few times at my house
to just an old vise on the ground and no visible reduction in output was
seen from using a "good" grounding system.





My late father-in-law's 71 cadillac has been sitting in our driveway since
96. (No, it's not on concrete blocks) I've been thinking about  a safe way
to coil for Halloween. The object being the avoidance of french-frying young
children.

So I thought, why not put the coil on top of the Caddy and use it for
ground? I think this is a fantastic idea. What do you think?
