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..
