Somebody should check up on the folks at Information
Unlimited from time to time ;->  They sell a tube
coil, and below the description they make this
[unsubstantiated] claim:

>From http://www.amazing1.com/tesla.htm:
"We also have built coils using 304TH, 450TH and
parallel 2500TH's with a full 5000 watts of plate
dissipation. This coil produced spectacular hot
flaming arcs up to 8 feet with 8 kw input."

Eight feet from any VTTC seems pretty much unheard of,
although I don't know anything about the 2500TH.  You
would think such an accomplishment would be documented
somewhere, though.  Then again, the general feeling I
get from the TC'ing community is that IU coils and
plans are to be regarded with some skepticism...
