Rotary Spark Gap 2,100 Watt Tesla Coil. Held together with hot glue and scrap wood. Barely works, but still fun to mess around with.

Runs off of two microwave transformers (MOTs), outputting 4200 V and 500 mA.
Tank capacitors have a capacitance of around 150 nF.
Discharges at around 300 - 400 bps.
Primary coil tapped at 1.5 turns.
