Here is a detailed "parts list" The secondary coil is about 1000 turns of 30awg wire wrapped around a 2.5" by 16" PVC pipe. The primary coil is 1/4" copper pipe I got in a 50' length from Lowes. The power supply is a 15kv 30ma neon sign transformer me and my dad traded a few watermelons for it at a neon sign shop. The capacitor bank is 56 1.6kv .022uf capacitors wired in series and parallel to get the required voltage and capacitance of 22.4kv and .0063uf. The spark gap is a 5 gap design with six 3/4" diameter copper tubes. The base is cut from plexiglas i got from home depot and is 18"x18". The white plastic supports for the primary coil are cut from a cutting board. The top load is 4" dryer duct wrapped with aluminum tape sandwiched between two 6" pie pans which are bolted together with a nylon bolt. I got the various nuts and bolts from my local hardware store
