Re: Safety Considerations

Happily VTTC's do not tend to destroy other electronic equipment.
This is because the peak powers are much lower than spark gap
Tesla coils.

I'm glad to hear you're going to be using the staccato mode of
operation.

Regarding touching the sparks.  I'd suggest not touching them
on a higher powered coil such as you are building.  The skin
effect in humans is a myth.  The current goes though you it's
simply that the frequency is too fast for the nerves to sense.
So you can be cooking internally and not know it.
