Folks,
I know this is an odd request...but here goes. I need to give a talk to about 4000 electronic engineers at a conference in San Fransisco on Feb 9, 2009. the topic of my talk is how to get more kids interested in technology and engineering. I'd like to work in a very short.. but impressive.. Tesla Coil demo into my talk. Normally when I give this type of talk locally talk I use one of my 2 coils.. a 2KW spark gap model or a SSTC-2. The former is too bulky to stick on a plane (I live in Vermont)..and the latter is not impressive enough for such a large venue.
So.. does anyone know of someone who would be willing to lend me his/her largish coil for that one day in Feb ? I'd be happy to to all the transport pay for any expenses including repairs.. and would even be willing to pay some sort of 'rental fee' if that made this work.. I'm looking for something that would through at least a meter spark (preferably more) and could be moved by 1 or 2 people.. a 110V based rig would be easiest.. .. though I think I could arrange for 220.
As a TC builder and promoter.. I know this is like asking to borrow someone's kid.. but this is a good cause. Please let me know if you have a coil to lend...or know of someone who might. Thanks so much !

I think Greg Leyh hangs out in San Francisco, he may be able to help, or know someone else who can.
If you ask nicely he may bring some antimatter along
