Gareth is right about gaining people's respect, but it is the  experience of 
seeing for the first time the air being ripped apart and made  luminous with 
thousands of noisy branching streamers right in front of them that  they will 
remember far longer. I routinely show my 8" coil, which is located  right 
behind the art gallery, to crowds of people each month on the First Friday  Art 
Trail. I get the biggest kick out of watching people's faces as they watch  the 
coil for the first time. It's so unusual and so frighteningly  beautiful to 
most people that it is something that they will NEVER forget.  I know the moment 
that I push the button, a memory will be created in each  person's mind that 
will last a lifetime, and that's kinda cool!
 
But it's the kids that will possibly be affected the most. I like to think  
that it can "spark" something in their minds that may influence them to pursue  
physics or science, instead of fame or stardom. And that's really  cool!

Welcome to the list and might I add, building a Tesla Coil is as  rewarding 
as actually seems not to mention your own creation of real looking  lightning 
when you get it right, and all your friends will totally respect you  for your 
great achievement,Good luck and enjoy it! Gareth,relatively a newbe at  Tesla.
