Subject: [TCML] Miniature tesla

Has anyone ever tried to make a small, say 10" tc from a bug zapper xformer. 
I came across one that puts out 4000 volts and as far as I can figure 10 to 
20 ma. , possibly 50watts .With the output shorted it pulls about .85amps 
@120v.  Would it even be feasible . If so could someone point me in the 
right direction as far as what size wire on say a 2" dia 10 to 12" secondary 
and a ball park on the cap, maybe around 3 to 4 nf ?

Thanks ,JM_______________________________________________
