One way to vary the output by focusing on one component might be with the 
spark gap:

simple spark gap
multiple spark gap
quenched spark gap
magnetic quench
'hyperbaric' gap with air blown through or across it, etc.

I would like to experiment with a Tesla coil for a Science Fair in
mid-January. I can’t just do a show and tell. I need a hypothesis and a
variable, data collection and something I can prove. I'd like to measure the
performance of the Tesla coil and change some variable to increase it. This 
is
kind of the idea I’m thinking of… varying the coil rotations or length, type 
of
capacitor, or the gap length to produce different results.


I’m also interested in musical Tesla coils, maybe what is the highest note 
or
greatest range that can be produced.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, Jonah Moss, 14, NC
