Hello Steven,

I think that if you are doing this for your graduation, you should do a 
good job, and not just glue and tape everything together to get your A.

In school they let you do homework, they don't give you all the answers 
without learning. And personally I think you should learn a little bit more 
by reading experiences from other coilers and read about their failures and 
success, only than you learn a lot. We can give you all the answers you 
need, but its more fun to see what others have done. A Tesla coil does not 
have to be expensive, but don't make a messy coil. Learning takes time.


There are some good websites you can learn from.

Free online basic electronic courses

Nikola Tesla (Tesla coil ring)

Everything about Nikola Tesla and Tesla Coils


Have fun building, and don't forget to read about the safety instructions, 
you only have one life!


Best regards,

Sebastiaan Draaisma
