I wonder if I should auction my bit of burnt wood which happened during my 
Tesla coil on a car shot.
Thats the yellow ring around the toroid. Seen by perhaps 500,000 people so 
must be worth at least $10.  And there is only one piece of this one rather 
than three of Dr Megavolt.  I'm still using it but I guess I could get 
another...
