Hold on, just a minute. I have to go get my tinfoil hat!

OK now. What's new but the showmanship done with finesse? Too bad no video.

A bit more intriguing than most "Science Show" performers of the past.

....it's within the link to Dr Megavolt Stan. On another thread (I forget which) I pasted up a link to somebody demonstrating his Tesla coil as well. I suspect there are probably many on YouTube . If I come by a really good one , Ill put a link in here.

Did anyone else catch the Chris Angel "Mindfreak" episode where he catches a bolt from a Tesla coil?

I'm not an EE, but the whole thing looked kind of pathetic to me. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. Am I missing something? Am I misjudging the guy?

There doesn't really seem to be an end purpose to this, other than like little boys playing with barrel bombs. It all seems like sublimation for sexual frustration.

"I have power!!"

"No, really, I do! just wait here and let me get my stuff."

"I'll show ya! I'll show ya!"

Isn't that just a description of what people is ! I think therefor I am. I am . I know I am . Please ,plaese, everybody tell me that I am . I need you to see me else I'm not am .

Somebody once described Blair as like a small boy atop a high diving board shouting 'look at me mommy , look at mee , look at me ! '. Wish I'd been there to empty that pool.

At the bottom of my website www.corona-technology-course.com I have a link to the Tesla Ring of websites about Tesla Coils.

Everything old is new again.

A Dr. Peeke in the 1920's defined very much about high voltage electricity and the electrical fields, field strengths, atmospheric variables and there effect on high voltage. Understanding, getting your mind around the subject, the Ah-Ha experience!

At the Tommy Bartlett Show in Wisconsin Dells they have a Tesla Coil with a woman and daughter with long hair standing on end.

There is a company in Baraboo, WI (near the Dells) that builds Tesla Coils for schools.
