I wouldn't mind getting zapped by one of those to see if I can gain some of Tesla's knowledge .

haha, you can come to my place and get zapped by mine? You have to turn down the power a bit, just so it's not as harsh. It is the most odd feeling I have ever felt, 1/2 of a million volts flowing through you. Max voltage is around 650,000volts and runs at ~500KHz.

We would need to crank the power to max then...I got zapped a few times that actually felt good and a couple of those times were a bit scary.

You built one? Or do you know someone who has one? The best part about it is holding a fluorescent bulb/tube in the area and having it light up.

A friend of mine did a little one and it was nice to see the light show. I thought about building a very big one and one day I will .
