	I can't think why.  Roughly
	As one moves up the coil, the end gets closer, the
	impedance gets higher.  fixed power, higher impedance,
	lower current, more voltage.  Standard profile in any
	1/4 wave resonator.  (modified, by top hat...)

	Indeed, applying it without crosscheck to the Tesla secondary
	system would be iffy...

	Again, i can't see why.  As one approaches the top, the end
	is in sight.  No place for current to go???

	Which is routinely used in Antenna work...
	The use of this Teasel work would need to be verified, but
	as noted, seems apropos...
