It might be on again as a repeat though.  It was a pretty good demo of a
TC stunt.  She had chain mail gloves and sat on an electrified table.  You
could hear the rotary gap winding up and the sparks that came from her
hands were about 24" long.  They actually went into how a TC works very
briefly.  They didn't seem to promote any misconceptions but it was rather
abridged as far as operating theory goes.

Welcome to the list!  Good luck on the coil.  It's a fun hobby that will
allow you to spend as much money as you want! :-)
