Original poster: BunnyKiller <bunnikillr@xxxxxxx>from my past experience running my coil in a haunted house ( had the coil surrounded by a similar fence (( we call them hurricane fence in new orleans)) and the fence took some streamer hits and bit the beejesuz out of me when I inadvertantly leaned against it) im betting that grounding to the fence may pose somewhat of a shock capacity if someone is touching it.... altho not as bad as a direct hit from the topload but still enuf to catch someones attention...Scot D Tesla list wrote:Original poster: "MIKE HARDY" <MHARDY@xxxxxxxxxx> I attend a rockfest every july, that I just got back from. I was going to take one of my coils, and run it in the festival camp I stay in. Time etc., didn't allow me to do that (probably a good thing, since there was a fire ban). Anyway, there is a cyclone fence bordering the campground for probably over a 1/4 mile, and 8 feet tall. Do you guys think this would be an effective, and most importantly, a safe ground. Any chance of someone being shocked down the fenceline. It would certainly be easier than driving a ground rod.
