RE: [TCML] Grounding a Tesla Coil (Yes, Again)

["Richard Schmuke" <rdj@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have done it several times the only problem I ever had was at one house about 15 years ago I put a ground right outside my radio set up and had a thin strip of dirt between the driveway and the basement. The copper tube went down the side of the foundation and the copper reacted with the concrete and corroded in half about 7 ft down.

Funny, this is exactly what I had planned and nearly did until my  
stepfather put down even the thought of sinking a ten foot pole in the  
dirt here. I'll give it a shot.
