[TowerTalk] Tesla's birthday

[Robert West]

I'm sorry, I thought you talking about the entire coil.  The thing at the
bottom is actually part of the coil, it's the primary or collector.  Here's
a good picture of a home built coil and you can see the primary at the
bottom.

For fun, in action....

I guess I wasn't clear in my question yesterday.

Yes, I know about Tesla coils.  And I understand how the corona in the "oo"
and the part that makes the top of the "g" are representative of a Tesla
coil.

But what I don't understand is the FAN.

You know, the part that forms the descender of the "g".

Is there something I'm not getting here?  What the heck is that lower part
of the "g" supposed to be?  Did Tesla design fan motors when he worked for
Westinghouse?
