Hi Malcolm, All...
Please cut Steven a little slack. He is only 16 years old, and is very
enthusiastic about building a Tesla coil for his project. After a rather
hasty start (and bad advice from his teacher,) and despite a lot of advice
from the list, he met with NO_VA. HOWEVER, he seems very resilient, and I
am confident that he will bounce back, and complete his project as
planned. By the way, every coilers' successes or failures act to build
this list up as a very valuable experimental aid. I think we can thank
Steven for some of the most active volume of postings and responses in
quite some time for this list.

Trust me, I may be new at this, but I can tell you that fan cooled heat
sinks or at least copper pipe(the longer the better) will do just as
good, if not better, than tungsten rods.

Steven,
A word of advice: before you go telling others what's good
and bad it would be as well for you to know what you are talking
about.
A number of people have suggested you go
and read information from various sources. With respect to Tesla
Coils, this list's archives contain an enormous amount of information
on every aspect of coiling and you would do well to start right there.
