A lack of sparks, on the same line a thought, would show a weak output.
I guess it would help if I mention my ultimate goal. I am going to do a large scale version of a recently completed research project. A paper of the project is attached to this e-mail.
I am trying to see if power transmission is effecient through the earth or the air. I believe it is mentioned in the paper that I don't know if my system used the air, the earth, or both to power the flourescent lightbulb. The next project should find that out by measuring the effeciency using the earth, and then the air.
Feel free to make any comments on the paper. It probably needs to be updated again to stay current with my facts. The only request I make is if all information can be backed by a website, article, or book that I can look at.
Thank you all. Matthew Boddicker

Truely a spark spitting coil is not an efficient radio wave broad- caster and conversely, a good broadcaster of EMF and such is not a very good spark maker. Most Tesla coil hobbiest are after the biggest sparks possible from their particular setup. Besides, broadcasting a lot of EMF, radio waves and such may very well put you on the crap list of the FCC - not good.
