powering a 120v incandescent bulb
IamSmooth, Wed Mar 28 2007, 12:16AMShould I be able to light a standard bulb by using a small coil of wire attached to the terminals when a large enough Tesla coil is running?

In theory, provided you are close enough to the primary. This is very impractical though…

I think Firkragg did some experiments on this. He used a second "secondary" to act as an antenna and then connected the light bulb to the "primary" of that coil.
Of course if you put the coil directly on top of your TC, you should get a fairly high coupling and it would work well without any tricks.
