MOT coil??

i have access to as many MOTS (well microwave ovens) as i like (including one industrial transformer.. but only one, sadly) but i am a wee bit confused as to the other equipment i will need and how to set it up....

i am running a 4" coil with 15kV 30mA at the moment and getting 22-24" arcs but want to try a MOT coil (and i have never been silly enough to "catch" a direct strike, safety is a big concern with me)..

where can i get some specs/programs/designs for a MOT coil?

A MOT coil is just a tesla coil using MOT's (Microwave Oven Transformer) as it's power supply.
