[Amps] Tesla Effect - what the heck is that?

[Dave White]

'bunch of idiots' seems a bit strong, as does 'just discovering' :-)

Google 'teslathon' and look at some of the pictures. You should find pics of Martin G6ABU creating some rather impressive lightning.  We never did establish whether the big tesla coil netted him the Nottingham Worked All Televisions award....

Cheers

OK, the engineer in me perked up with the on-going thread that mentioned '..the Tesla effect..'

Can someone, in technical terms, explain what the 'Tesla effect' is?  Or what it is supposed to be?
