Hi, well you could put the transformer on the other side of a wall, however
if there is a spark over or other arcs it could set a fire and you would not
notice it until too late..most coilers want to see all the parts, then if
there is a fire it can be stopped quickly. besides if it arcs to a telephone
wire and you wife is on the phone upstairs she might be electrocuted! or to
the power wire and your son is upstairs playing with an electrical
device....
Darned Tesla Coils the sparks and arcs go where they want, i wanna see if
its getting out of control...if you get the idea...cul brian f.
