Thank Dragonrider. I've been looking for the info in that second link for months. I found it 2 or 3 websites ago(incarnations of ATS), and lost it. You seem to be the resident expert on Tesla- do you know anything on harmonic oscillators? Does "The lost journals" talk about that?

The reason for Tesla's ability to survive electrical charges of extremely high volages is because it's the amperage of a current that will kill you, not the voltage.
ie a transistor radio may use a small rectangular 12V battery and cars typically use 12 volt batteries but your transistor radio battery will not have anywhere near sufficient amperage to crank your engine over.
A even though a Tesla coil produces massive voltages it produces them at tiny aperages so is relatively harmless.
