The secondary bottom will go to electrical house ground. If a larger sized
coil is made - it will go to both electrical ground and RF ground (made
with a 4-8 copper pipe in the earth or large sections of Hardware
cloth/Chicken wire directly placed under the tesla coil - ensuring its
considerably larger than the top load).
The secondary top "should" go to a top load of either a sphere for smaller
distributed multiple sparks or to a donut shaped toroid which provides some
additional minimal capacitance and will allow build up of sparks to be
longer in length.
