Here's something odd I hadn't encountered before: resonant high voltage
step up transformers with no coils:  piezo stacks.  Digi-key has them:
P6000-ND.  They're being used as tiny fluorescent tube drivers for laptop
LCD backlights.  Also used as HV supplies in negative ion generators.

  Piezoelectric transformer
  Piezeoceramic transformer
So, now we can make Tesla coils which contain ONLY moving parts, rather
than the opposite!
