Bill,
I actually heard about the technique from Tesla Coiler Richard Hull, who related the coin crusing work of Jim Goss, a EE at a university (don't remember which one). I lucked into a batch of the big GE caps some years later, and decided to build one myself. After building the unit, I also heard about the work done by Gary Hawkins, and subsequently discussed a number of aspects with him. So I'm at least the 3rd monkey if not the 100th...:^) In the final analysis, there are very few things that are truly new.
BTW, the web site is back up on the air.

Nope - it's not fake. All pictures are for real as is the phenomenon. The website's now back up on the air at: www.teslamania.com
