I have a question for the list. Does a Tesla coil have to be round?
Nope.. Can
it be elongated or any other shape, as long as their are no sharp corners, ie. 2 feet wide, 4 feet long and 2 feet high, or "S"shaped or, or shaped like a pyramid as long as all the corners are rounded
Sure..It will require some experimentation to find the right tuning - things like spheres, toroids, rings, cylinders all have well understood capacitance and inductance formulas or approximations.
Sounds like a cool idea.
