I'm very short of Pictures
and information from this years Cambridge.
If anyone has any extra info or photos, please send them to me at

 My (Derek Woodroffe) SSTC2 |
 My SSTC2 with a 1Kw Lamp Plasma globe |
 Me, Waiting for sparks from my OLTCII |
 Hay It Still Works. |
 And Continues to work.. |
 Mark Hales Brought the last of his cubes of sodium. An placed then one by one into a bucket of water. |
 The Sodium was coated in oil and so took a while for the water to get into contact. |
 Contact !! |
 Another Peice, never got a really good contact with the water |
 The last peice was squashed to give a better surface area. |
 Mike Harrison looking deeply into his new Spark-O-phone. |
|
 Ans Mike's small Spark-O-phone. (The pan pipes of death?) |
 Paul Benham brought his Big coil |
 And displayed some large streamers |
 Philip Strauss brought his excelent 20" bonetti machine. |
 Which gave 15+cm sparks |
 Steve Connor arrives with his DRSSTC in tow. |
|
 And it proceded to give excelent displays of sparks. |
 that were huge for its small size. |
 With no problems at all. |
 Steves DRSSTC with a spinner on top |
 Which It failed to move one inch. Where as My OLTC drove it quite well. See, DRSSTC's can't do Everything as well as OLTC's |
 Streamers avoiding a sphere |
 More Arcs to the spheres. |
 And even more... |
 The Coilers and Visitors |
 And thanks to the Cambridge museum of technology for hosting the event. |
 I started the day badly. My secondary earth wire touched the inside of my secondary. 1/4 hour with emery paper and a sanding wheel, the coil was back working. |
 Ready for Demos. |
|
 A demonstration of My CW Multiplier with a bowl of "womble shit" Click for a movie with tin pie dishes |
 I blew an IGBT whilst power arcing to earth, One more defenceles transistor gives it life to the cause. |
 A member of the public (sorry I didn't get your name), brought his (rather nicely built) ignition coil for faulting. |
|
Bob Takes a break.. |
 Paul and Dave, sorry if you haven't brought a coil, you get you picture taken instead. |
|

 Must be arcing in here somewhere. |
