Actually, the patent doesn't specify on size. He was
working with much
higher wattages than what I am looking at. I am sure
his wire was
thicker, and longer, since he mentioned in one of the
papers cited in
the Lindemann book (which I can't recommend highly
enough) that a
standing wave could be created that would cover the
whole earth at as
low as 6 cps. That had to be a loooong coil!!! Of
course you look at the
Wardenclyffe tower and it's no wonder.

LOL thanks! Yes it will have an interchangeable
aerial. I'll probably go
with a chrome plated brass pipe toroid for the fun
stuff. Tesla said
copper as emitter had a tendency to collect electrons
and emit them in
dangerous "dartlets". sounds like sparks to me :-) For
the most part,
I'm looking for "cold" electricity.
