Speaking of safety, what is the deal with all of these pictures I see
of tesla coils operating indoors?!?  I've seen strikes hitting carpet,
curtains and all sorts of seemingly flammable materials...why no fires?

I plan to do most of my testing outdoors with a fire extinguisher handy :)

Justin,

It's dangerous to have the sparks hitting things like that.  Fires
have been started that way.  In one case a fellow had to take
a crowbar and begin tearing down his ceiling to put out the fire.
