super simple tesla coil, no sparks, but it can light up a bulb.



Super quick and dirty, this was some plastic tube off some broken toy, 
just attached to a gear motor to  do the windings. 



I think they call it a slayer circuit.  I have no idea what it's oscillating at.  I am almost scared to ask, probably a few Mhz and would upset the fcc types..  

       So I gave a talk and put the light bulb in my mouth and lit it.  Al la, Uncle Fester, and nobody in the room of 100+ got the reference.   I don't think they ever posted the video even.
