Hi Deano,

Yes, Kurt Schraner has built a Seibt Coil. Here is a schematic.

Note the Induction coil. Kurt built his own induction coil to 
generate the 40 or 50 kV needed and also built lossy bottle 
capacitors to aid in the corona (in this coil, you want the corona).

I started building a Seibt Coil myself, but I have yet to finish it. 
I have everything except the high voltages. Here are some pics of my 
Seibt Coil still awaiting first light.

The outer brass wires are connected to springs on each end. This 
really helps with the wire fastening, positioning, etc.. Kurt is the 
one who tried springs first. I decided to implement them on both top 
and bottom ends of the wire to the brass rods. The brass rods are 
toilet gizmo's at the hardware store. I simply cut off the threaded 
ends. It's in the garage now and it keeps staring at me with the look 
of "when you gonna finish me?". Well, soon I hope. I really want to 
wind my own induction coil as Kurt did (for the experience and for 
the Seibt Coil).

Here is a pic of Kurts Seibt in action.

It's really cool to see the waveforms of the coil within the corona 
of the coil itself. That is essentially what is going on between the 
coil and the brass wires (which are connected to ground). The idea is 
to attain the corona and not flash over to the ground wires. Kurt is 
really the guy to talk to about all this.

Take care,
Bart
