Well this site shows how they built a bi-polar Tesla Coil system. I've always loved the Tesla coils on C&C when they'd zap the units as they went by. "

    Not to nitpick, but the aforementioned site doesn't exactly show how they built the Coil, just that they did, and how it looks in operation. It's an old site, too; built in '96. I'm fairly confident this isn't news; although a decent schematic certainly would put this at "Stuff that matters."
