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.

Gentlemen; I am building my first Tesla Coin rated at around 250.000 volts
and would like some advice on routing and connecting the secondary coil
wires top and bottom.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
