No-one has a 3MV coil. No-one has a 1MV coil either (Electrum might come 
close). Dr Resonance has a (measured)800kV coil that does 21 feet from 
memory.
Many people have assumed that spark length of DC sparks extrapolates to RF 
sparks from a TC. Not so. Spark length in a TC grows due to repeated hits 
far longer (eg 3 or more times) than expected.  This is easily proven by 
doing single shot sparks which are ridiculously small even with huge coils.
I think the coil in that episode was from Tesla Technology Research.
