Re: Coiling for Profit

I have been approached by entertainment service companies to do shows 
for kids, or be a mad scientist at a party, but beyond that I have 
not found any way to make a profit from building Tesla Coils. I have 
figured out alot of other useful things though... Besides 
experimentation and new invention that makes direct use of the energy 
from the TC, it is probably best to keep our work below radar.

Sincerely,

Miles Waldron
