Subject: 2 stage TC possible?

Just curious, if anyone knows of or thinks it's possible to have a Tesla 
Coil driven off the output of another Tesla Coil?

In other words, have the output off the topload of first system be used 
in place of the NST for the second system.  Would just tapping into the 
output alter the coil's frequency enough to keep it from reaching resonance?

And another, possibly related, question... is there a simple (cheap) 
method of rectifying the TC output current, to make it DC?
