This tesla coil photo shows beautiful feathery plasma!
The aim of this design was to get the highest voltage (or longest arcs) possible from a singe self contained unit. This coil operates from 12V or 24V SLA batteries. A pair of car ignition coils are used to provide around 20kV for charging the capacitor bank. The ignition coils are driven by a variable frequency square wave from a 555 timing chip and four large transistors (2N3055). – Link

The link in the article is just the same picture on flickr. Here’s a link to the project site http://www.rmcybernetics.com/projects/DIY_Devices/homemade_tesla_coil.htm.
The DIY Tesla Coil used to make this photo was actually being powered by the Power Pulse Generator at the time
Great site here guys, visit my site to follow my project to build a homemade DIY tesla coil http://how-to-build-a-tesla-generator.blogspot.co.nz/
