Wow. Quite interesting. And apparently you can make florescent bulbs light up by simply holding them near the coil.

At the junior college I went to in Northern California the electronics department had a Tesla Coil and one of the teachers demostrated it after the final test, and made a flurescent tube light up but he had to hold it in a certain angle and direction. The teacher also had a paper clip or piece of wire bent in a "L" shaped on either end that he placed on the top of the coil and it would go in circles with sparks emitting from the ends.
