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.
