A Tesla Coil is basically a transformer that can generate very, very
high voltages. Here is a link to a pretty great web site that describes
tesla coils, with photos and drawings too. Definitely check out the movies!

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!
