What sort of cash would a couple of units like the ones in the video cost to build? I mean, if you did them 'skratcher style' rather than with a credit card?

I think next year will be multi fuel jet engine and 2 tesla coils rocking out!!

Post by: greasemonkey on July 08, 2014, 10:52:54 PM: Aye, I see that.
I think Thailand a similar population to ours, a third of the number of road users, and the same fatality rate. Anyones guess what the serious injury rate is, probably ten times. I never actually witnessed a fatal accident there, but have seen so many crashes and injurys.
A few months ago it was national news that a British WW11 bomb had been unearthed in BKK. Two days later it was national news that it had exploded in a scrap recyclers in BKK, while they were cutting it up with oxycetalyne.
Couldn't make it up...........

Oh that is amazing. Never seen anything like it :) I wonder how they get them to go straight up as opposed to flying off sideways? Fantastic bit of human ingenuity there :)

Post by: Tony on July 08, 2014, 11:39:01 PM: I used to build Tesla coils, started with a little 300W NST one that put out 1.2MV @ about 100khz. I gave up when I'd graduated to two industrial microwave transformers in antiphase (6kW) because things were constantly catching fire, either the spark gap or the primary cap - they used to go with one hell of a bang. Set fire to the lawn once too.

I always wanted to make a solid state switched one :)
