Re: DC tesla coil

Original poster: Blake Hartley <teslaspud@xxxxxxxxx>

Eric,

I don't have any webpages right now because I am just in the
development stage. As soon as I get some work done i will put up a
webpage. also, i have a question for the group. I want to run my coils
indoors but I do not have any access to an RF ground except for a long
cable to the ground rod. is there any alternative to the cable? thanks
again.

Blake
