Re: [TCML] Is my 10" Tesla Coil Illegal ?
Increased RFI level reported is no surprise.
However,the problems of the worst kind can
happen if the bulk of RF energy gets send back
to 120 (240) V network.
Line filter is a good thing to have (not
only becouse of you but becouse of your
neighbors too).
Noise level tolerance is another problem
regarding possible complaints of your neighbors.
Running 10 kw coil outdoors without previous
warning is almost like shooting from AK-47 in the air
without warning (very rude).
Anycase,don't forget to inform your neighborhood
what you're going to do few days in advance.
One more suggestion is to use every oportunity for
a celebratory coil fire.Good example:
