Default More Breaker Panel Mess

Most people would be quite surprised to learn that Tesla built the
first power plant at Niagra Falls....I think Tesla was the Einstein (or
beyond) of the practical world...Question: What kind of power supply do
you use for a Tesla coil? Just curious...I remember at a school I went
to while in the Navy we had some type of a Tesla alternator that
transmitted static(?) electricity...hold a flourescent tube within
about 6 inches,it would light... I though, no big deal... then the
insructor used an incandescent lamp, and it glowed (albeit somewhat
dimmer than normal...) I was hooked..
