The level of knowledge among the list members ranges from people who hardly know what a tesla coil is, to professional physicists. Topics such as the Tunguska explosion, free energy, anti-gravity, etc. are not discussed. Occasionally images are posted to an image list. Tesla coil operation involves high energy electrical discharge, high voltages, and often high speed rotary gaps. For the beginner, there are plenty of ways to injure or kill yourself.
Safety is an important part of fun, successful tesla coiling.
Several list members have prepared a safety sheet to assist the tesla coiler in determining and avoiding some of the dangers of this fascinating hobby. Keep in mind that there are other dangers that are unforseen, and that there is no way that I or anyone else could possibly determine all of them.
