Lightning researchers refer to sparks such s these as streamers. That
seems like a good name for them, although for use with TCs it seems
appropriate to add various overblown adjectives, adverbs and prefixes
such as big, mega-, roaring, searing, etc. For example, "The Tesla
coil creates a profusion of hot, searing streamers, powered by
500,000 BIG VOLTS! Woe betide anyone who tangles with these
egregious examples of evanescent electromagnetic excess!" You get the
idea. If an audience member hollers that all volts are the same size,
well, that's what bouncers are for.

I also technically prefer streamer when I think about it. But
whimsically I
like to say loudly "Big Sparkeys!".
