Re: [TCML] largest secondary coil you'd drive with an NST

We don't exceed the performance of solid state coils we rival the
performance.  The system is much to big to move, as we have made no effort
to produce a compact system. This will come later.

We will likely show pictures of it running. The arcs form an unusually tight
filament.
