Just thought I post this great shot I took of Terry Blake's oil-filled
secondary conventional tesla coil which
was powered via a 1.5kVA, 14.4kV GE Potential Transformer.

This shot is unique in that because of the relatively short secondary to
a relatively wide toroid, there are two
major points of corona discharge between toroid and primary, and this
shot in particular caught a very nice
secondary racing spark.
