There is a "General non-Tesla HV" mailing list. Topics discussed here range from flyback supply designs to instruction on how to build a Farnswort/Hirsch Fusor (see below). For more information contact hvlist-request_AT_pupman.com

Tesla Coils

Their are hundreds of pages on Tesla and his coils. This is only a very small selection. Most of the pages listed here belong to the Tesla Coil Web Ring which interconnects many of the Tesla pages.

Nice tesla coil, and very good explanation of how it works, including oscilloscope screen shots.
Bill Beaty's very informative Tesla page
Brent's High Voltage Page
Alan Sharp's conventional and solid state tesla coil page
Christoph Baumann's Tesla coil page
Nikola Tesla Page at the TU Munich - Deutsch
Richard Burnett's TC page, with measured waveforms
Tesla coil builders' associations (both USA):
- TCBA (obsolete?)
- TCBOR
Commercial (LARGE) tesla coils:
- Tesla Technology Research
- Resonance Research

There are also several mailing lists on Tesla coils:

Tesla-2 is primarily intended for beginners. Contact Mike Hammer <mhammer@misslink.net> (Homepage) for more information.
TCML (run by Chip Atkinson). See TCML Homepage for more information and subscription.
GTL German speaking Tesla-List. Deutschsprachige Tesla-Liste. Weitere Informationen und Anmeldung auf der GTL-Homepage.
