Ed,
That's the whole point - it is absurd to even try to design a TC with a
resonance of 8Hz, and far more absurd to try to build it. I think Greg Leyh
had a convincing argument that the biggest practical TC would have a
resonant frequency of around 15 kHz.

Your belief is, to put it mildly, absurd. How absurd? As an example, for a
Tesla coil secondary to resonate at about 8 Hz, you would first need to
build a toroid about 100 ft in diameter & 10 ft thick which would have a
capacitance of about 1100 pF. This would sit on top of a secondary 100 ft
in diameter and 600 ft high. On this would be wound about 777 miles of #16
wire!"
Steve:
How could you wind 777 miles of #16 wire on a form 100 feet in
diameter and 600 feet high?
