No doubt an unintentional remark YT, but that could be misleading as everyone is different. I also have asthma and I find I always need to use my inhaler when around the coil. So bear in mind the "wheezy brigade" when demonstrating the coil to people you don't know that well. I think a bad asthma sufferer - thankfully I am not - could have some serious issues around coils, as I knew one bad sufferer who died as a result of an attack (not coil induced I hasten to add though).

We all know that both Ozone and Nitrogen Oxides are potentially hazardous, and are irritants, and are produced in various quantities by Tesla coils. I suspect most of us do not have any way to measure the gas content, and we all have subjectively different responses to whatever is emitted by our coils. There's also a whole lot of potential other things that can result in similar effects. (Peter Terren commented on this a few emails ago) So, let's keep it in the realm of objective data rather not speculation If you want to provide a link to safety documentation (e.g. industrial hygiene or safety regulations), that would be useful or If you have actual objectively measured data of concentrations of whatever is produced, that would be useful or if you have practical counter measures and recommendations Jim Lux _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
