Tesla Coils. MY wife (Yvette Wilde) the touring feature entertainer danced
nude on top of the coil I built and lit 24" florescent light tubes in her
hands and had lightning flash off a pair of 24" swords she would dance with.
You did what with your's?

Thats a great one, Kim.
I have had a few bouts of RFI problems, not so dramatic though. In high
school I had this tesla coil I built, out in my parents old garage/shed. I
ran the wiring myself to that building, and the adjacent hamshack I built
with my pop's help. I had a hanging bare bulb, with cotton-insulated twisted
wire, remember that stuff? At the ceiling, there was no J-box, just a staple
and couple of wire nuts going to Romex. No ground, of course. Hey, I didn't
know what CODE meant, maybe something from Man From U.N.C.L.E.?
So here i was firing my 20 inch sparker, and I happened to see a glow above.
The staple into the damp wood rafter (this was in SC during the summer) was
sparking around the Romex. All of the staples were doing it. There was so
much RF on the AC line that it was arcing everwhere. I was lucky it didn't
burn the place down.
