Re: [TCML] Odd side effect--from a coil?

[sfxneon@xxxxxxx]

St. Elmo's Fire is the corona given off of some tall objects like  ship's 
masts when the atmosphere is heavily charged and can  happen right before a 
lightning strike. People getting struck by lightning  sometimes report of a 
tingly feeling or even sparks from the fingers right  before the strike. It 
also appears around the sharp edges or points of a  grounded conductor that 
is just out of striking distance of a Tesla coil.

oh and  the St. Elmo's fire that old timer was describing was really some 
form of ball  
lightning as he described it. Best wishes to all and may still more  
mysteries unravel before our  eyes.
