   If he touched one of those, what would happen to Boris Johnson’s hair?

   Dave H,
   Those are *serious* coils. Boris’s barnett would be the least of his worries.

   Mainly because he would be very, very dead.

   Those fuckers will wirelessly light a fluorescent tube at several metres.

   I want to build one. I have corresponded with a “coiler” and he said his coil’s spark-gap made a noise like a “panther passing a kidney stone”.

   You can smell the ozone.

   Nothing sounds like them. Nothing sounds as brilliantly appalling other than a nuclear bomb or a Republic Thunderscreech’s supersonic airscrew. When Nikola Tesla fired off his really big coil in Colorado Springs they could hear it in the next county. God himself has less power.

   And now the fucking greens want us to build cunting windmills.

   No brain.

   And no soul.
