Tesla Coil Gun Exists, May Shoot Lightning

...a "Darwin Award" candidate?

We'll find out soon enough!

A drill battery? This guy is a amateur. My friend built one that was casting 12 foot arcs.

video link??

That was probably 15 years ago and I did not shoot video. Somewhere in my archives I may have still pictures, but we could not get very close for fear of the EMP destroying the digital cameras.

He brought this huge machine into work as a fun demo and we used the company's empty stock room as it was surrounded by a wire cage and made an excellent target for the arcs.

I do remember that the owner stated that the machine was a work in progress and it was not operating at full potential. Nevertheless, it was a great show.

The largest private Tesla coil I know about (at the time) was in Auckland, New Zealand, called the Electrum. The coil sits on a 40' tower and produces up to 50' arcs.

Interesting, I wonder how large you could go with a tesla, before strange things started to occur....

Perhaps something like our Sun?

This is the journalistic version of premature ejaculation.

It is goes into mass production (or even limited production) and looks like a Pomson 6000, I'll buy one.

It is goes...?

Meant to write If it goes...

Guess I was still mostly asleep at 8:37 this morning.
