Hi Nick, All,

You state on your main page at the "Build One" section that:

"However cool the concept of 6 foot long sparks and the ability
to light bulbs from 20 feet away remember that despite the fact
one of these things has never ever killed anyone they are still
dangerous in the hands of the stupid. Before reading any further
read my disclaimer."

I beg to differ. People have been killed operating a Tesla coil. A stage
performer by the name of Henry Transtrom (sp) was killed when he
was struck by an arc from a coil. It was his last performance.

I also seem to recall reading examples of others killed while operating
a coil. So, please, modify this text on your page. Tesla coils ARE lethal
devices, no ifs ands and buts about it. They have killed people, whether
by accident or sheer careless actions. It is not a trifling matter and safety
can't be stressed enough.
