I understand how transformers work fine (I've had E&M).

But how do you get the high frequency with that much voltage?
I've seen pictures in Edmund Scientific and such, and it doesn't look
like too much circuitry is involved.

Also, how high is high frequency for an average Tesla coil?

I too would love to build one; I don't want to shell out the $150 or 
whatever Edmund wants for one.
