That's great! Hands down the best thing about the prank was the fact that you pulled off the scam with the scale difference fakery on the "staged HV lab". I love it!

Since the coil is only using 2.4 watts. I could put more current into it for more BPS. The streamers should grow longer. I would need to build a power supply to do this.

Well, if you get bored of HV you can get a job making doll's house furniture.
It also puts a new meaning to Electroholic's comment about it.
"tank cap is way too small."
Sure is.
