Hi Tim,

Here's a pic of Kurts induction coil.

I don't have any details other that what you see. I believe Kurt 
mentioned it was capable of 12 cm needle point sparks. Kurt mentioned 
the Seibt really seems to love being driven with a fairly high 
voltage. The induction coil is not the only means of generating the 
50 kv. Back when I was actually building the Seibt, I started some 
internet research on induction coils, but I didn't finish. I still 
have that to do. I don't have a complete understanding of the build 
other than the picture of Kurts coil and what I've read on the 
Internet (so long ago, I don't remember the details).

Take care,
Bart"

   If I remember correctly he said he didn't built the induction 
coil but that he restored it or something like that.  Neat gadget!
