Re: [TCML] Tesla Coil Output Hazards, Skin Effect?

["resonance" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We work in contact with the HV terminal on small coils, however, we always 
use a glass topped elevated stand to do these experiments.

With most any type coil, it's the current that becomes the problem more than 
the voltage and frequency (within reason of course).  Usually small coils 
12/30 nst powered are reasonably safe on an elevated platform.  Use caution 
around children and NEVER let them work with a Tesla coil on their own.
