I've also fantasized about building tesla coils.

Doesn't the FCC get really upset about these things when they go off?
Esp. if you implement your plan to use FM to drive it?  We are
talking, potentially, about a multi-kilowatt transmitter here.
Shielding?



AND the idea about the arc spewing jackolantern that tracks burglars
- THAT's way cool.
