I watched a documentary the other night, well heard it obviously, about Dr
Megavolt and his tesla coils and chain mail suits.
Interesting. 20ft sparks, Blimey.

In the UK, I am allowed to possess one, but the Men In Suits and the
fines start arriving when I turn it on without having a licence.

Dunno what the rules are in the US of A, thougbut.

I doubt that there is a licence allowing you to operate a spark transmitter.

Probably not, but it costs nothing to ask.

I think it may have been included in a school science lesson but I'm
not too sure. At my age memories from school are very poor apart from
making bombs!
