	Here and now.  Others have better knowledge of starting
	sites.

	It can help.  Careful work, study, and consultation (here,
	elsewhere) can supply the equivalent.

> Is it "lawful" to construct such equipment?
	THAT varies locally.  What applies here (USA, for me)

	may not apply elsewhere.  As a practical matter,
	modest coils, infrequently operated, will not, in
	general attract attention, tho if operated in
	an 'urban' setting, risk of attracting attention
	goes up.

	Tesla coils come in a variety of sizes.  Small ones
	can be fun and instructive, and attract less attention.
