Sam,

A TC is an RF transmitter as you have a large amount of RF power pushed into
a short ariel (secondary) so it will radiate as a transmitter will, although
poorly. (two lines, but not very descriptive)...

	You cannot go into much detail about a Tc in under ten lines..
	especially to go through the whole load of electrical & RF theory
never mind the rest of the physics and math.

	I had a go at describing a TC in as simpler way as possible my
attempt is at  http://www.roffesoft.co.uk/tesla/tccct/tccct.htm It does of
course only briefly describe a static gap tesla coil, but in 10 pictures or
so, that's not too bad.

	Hope it helps..

	Sorry, but there is no real alternative to reading up on your
subject, or subjects in the case of TC's

	Best way is do it, ask 'n' learn....
