Proposal for Tesla Coil Data Base

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

Original poster: "by way of Terry Fritz <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>" <Zimtesla-at-aol-dot-com>

I have enjoyed reading letters on the Tesla list and looking at web sites 
where Tesla coil photos are posted. Seeing what others are doing helps me 
to build better coils and get new ideas. I have seen some emperical formula 
for max spark length for a given driving power. Also it is mentioned that 
so-and-so got xxx inches with a y watt transformer. Lots of times no detail 
or photos.

If this already exists, I have missed it - I propose that a data base of 
what Tesla list coil builders consider their best effortsbe developed. It 
would have to be posted on a web site so everyone could see it. The posting 
would be a standardized description of the coil and its components (caps, 
xformer, gap design, etc) and a couple photos. The maximum spark length 
recorded by the photos would also be given. This might spark (no pun 
intended) some friendly competition and would also give newcomers a look at 
what others are doing.

I would like to see some feedback on this idea or if it already exists, 
some direction on how to find it.
Thanks
Jim
