Here is the tesla coil. It is powered by a 12,000V 60ma neon sign transformer. The output voltage can exceed 1.5 million volts.

The video and pictures do not show the coil running at full power, if I turn it up too much, it messes up the video camera...

A better DivX version of the video is available here: tesla.avi. Right click and select save as.

Here are some more pictures. In one of them the spark reaches the strike rail, in another you can see a thick spark climb the secondary coil. This is a bad thing...:
