Hello,
I was wondering how significant the firehazards relating to Tesla coils
are. The spark gap will generate a large amount of heat for sure, but
how dangerous are the secondary streamers on, say, a 1kW coil? Could
they easily ignite materials such as wood or paper with a single strike?
Thanks,
Chris
