*Fritz Filter:* *($45)* Neon Sign Transformer Filter for a Tesla Coil;
without this filter, the life of Neon Sign Transformer in this application
is short lived. The components on Fritz filters are difficult to find,
particularly the large Dale resistors.

*Sparks:* 25" arcs (~1.9MV) before it arcs between the toroid and strike
rail, but with a longer separation between the toroid, you could
theoretically get up to 40"
