hi i am marcus conner
i have experimenter quiet a bit with tesli coils i took and made a 4in disk 
out of plexar i put 4 electrodes in it equally spaced iput the disc on a 4 
pole electric fan motor i took the armature out of the motor and ground it 
down kinda square thic made the motor sink speed 1800 rpm   by rotating the 
motor in the mounting you can time where it fires on the 60 cy sine 
wave  ant way yuo might gat some ideas from this i am a retieed electrician 
i live in north west ark i have a small electrical shop i con get 
transformer oil and all kinds of insulating varnish   one time i used a hi 
voltage transformer of a plasma cuter it had the hi voltage cap spark gap 
all i had to do was wind the coils i used it with a smaller coil i got 
about 6in sparks  and a lot of karona all so a lot of ozone gas
