I believe Resonance Research tends to make "reliable" museum style
coils. I have noticed that their coils really are not great "watt/foot"
performers, but they have a very good reputation of making reliable
systems, if not a bit pricy. Perhaps DC could fill us in with all of the
great details? I am glad to see SSTC's going mainstream, as I believe
they could out perform (and out last) any SGTC in continuous demo
service.

Do you have a scan or a link to this "Tesla Rifle" SSTC ?

Also, is that 5.5kVA number correct - seems like quite a bit of power to
get
only 9.5 feet of arc?  And any details on the topology you are using?
Pictures?

I don't know.  My classic TC's break that rule all the time.  Even my
small
minicoil running at 200 Watts breaks the one foot mark.
