Section 2: Tesla Coils, you and your neighbors

Tesla coils can cause severe RF interference, and may destroy electronic devices of yours and even your neighbors! FCC (Federal Communications Commission) guys in a van may come knocking if you are interfering with radio transmissions. Not only will this make you really unpopular, but you may well (and should) be held liable for damage caused.

Further, as coilers, the last thing we want is to create a dangerous destructive image of Tesla coils with the public. So consider proper RF shielding as essential as any other safety feature. Tesla coils are also very loud, so be respectful of others in that regard.

As well, Tesla coils in operation look very scary and are intimidating to the uninitiated. So explain what you are doing to your family and neighbors. Making an impression of being informed and safety conscious will go a long way in keeping everyone living near you happy and preventing complaints.
