Re: Tesla coil on Ebay; 80-300' lightning?



Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I couldn't find it. Please verify. I hope this coil is off ebay! Bill built the coil and it is another one of his works of perfection (minus the primary as he mentioned). I don't mind the price. Too much for me but if someone will buy it for that price, fine. The sparklength statement is however just stupid. I would love to use a better choice of words, but nothing better comes to mind.

Bills work is now in the hands of a money seeking morons. If there is a buyer, hope he/she is not disappointed when the coil does about 8 feet (assuming all is still in good shape). It may be a good idea to insert the spark length design parameter on the data plate for our coils. This could happen to any of us. BTW, Bill, beautiful work with the cabinet and coil. It is a nice looking coil!
