1 million volt Tesla Coil

A highlight of the 2008 PEARL conference: Attendees that took advantage of the facility visits were thrilled by 1 million volts flowing through this 10-ft Tesla Coil built by David Qualls, an engineer at Boeing Corporation and member of the Tesla Society. The coil now resides at ROMAC Supply (Commerce, CA), where it was purchased ROMAC president, David Rosenfield. Use this link for video footage of the Tesla coil in operation.
