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. "

    The weapon is a physical thing, it can't get trolls. Slashdot trolls arn't actually "walking it the garden of slashdot", they are posting from their home, the weapon will not hurt them. Maybe their computer will malfunction and shock them though.
