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!".
