A: FROM MENTOR KRISTIN TAGHON IN IL
Hi, Sarah,

I found information on the Tesla Coil by doing a search on "Tesla coils" from
www.google.com.

Here's the web site that I found that gives you the answers:

I hope you can understand it - it's a bit over my head! Perhaps you can find
someone who understands this and can explain the words to you!

Kristin
