[TCML] ***** My real tip for all coilers *****

*****    My real tip for all coilers  *****

Everyone wants the biggest sparks - right?
My opinion:  Don't think of a TC as just an exercise in getting the longest 
sparks.
My longest spark photo on my home page is about the 43rd photo/video down 
because it doesn't matter.

Spend money on a better camera/video/flash/tripod. Do something different, 
take some fabulous photos.
Google "Tesla coil" images. I currently have 20 of the top 100 photos there. 
As it happens my longest sparks picture is about number 100.
Many are of sparks or streamers are only 1-3 feet long but in the context of 
an Xmas tree or car thief protection or sparks in a pool that is fine.
All of my techniques are easily reproducible and were trivial compared with 
the original construction of the coil.
After years, I have still not seen a decent rotating breakout picture done 
by anyone else.
