This article is a sort of follow up piece to a previous article Richard 
published in the Electric Spacecraft Journal (Aug. 1993, issue #9) titled 
'Tesla Coils and Electrostatics' and it involved a series of experiments 
involving electrostatic phenomenon associated with Tesla coils.  The Vol. 
16 #2 article is the study of actual collection of electrostatic energy 
from running Tesla systems.  As seen on one of his older tapes, Dave Sharpe 
gets repeatedly shocked from a coil that had been running but turned off 
for a few minutes.  Enough to be uncomfortable, and it would charge up 
again, and again.  He must have been nailed 8 or 10 times in a very short 
segment on the tape.  That may have been one of the events that piqued his 
interest.
