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.
My AD-OLTC
entertaining the crowd with a rendition of Twinkle Twinkle. (Mental note,
must change the tune!!)
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.
Martin tries to determine why the output is
poor.
Bob Takes a
break..
Paul and Dave, sorry
if you haven't brought a coil, you get you picture taken instead.
Bob's Coil , being set
up.
Bob, Looking for
arcing in his capacitor bank
Bob, Still looking
for arcing in his capacitor bank
Must be arcing in
here somewhere.
Bobs Control Desk,
Bobs transformer and charging inductors.
Bobs rotary, (high spin speed, with economy wash
cycle)
Bob at the controls, tuning.
About 4' sparks from a "wizards hat" on top of Bob's
coil.
My OLTC2
Working, About 2.5-3'
arcs to air, sparks to ground still blowing OV trip though.
Mike Harrisons Bipolar Marx, Suffering from damp and sawdust,
but still giving 3' arcs.
Mike Harrisons cap bank "Interfaces" with a motherboard.
And
again..
The "Jacobs laddder-o-phone of death"
Mike descovers a new way of cooking apples. A steel whire through the
center and hook it up to the cap bank. Tastes rather metalic though..

Adam Hordens Rather nicely built VTTC
In Action
Arc to Florecent
lamp
Art to air, Classic vttc spark about 12" long ..
Bob Golding coil, Showing arcs with no power in , whilst Dave Gamble
was tuning his coil
Dave Gambol's coil giving solid 7'+ sparks to an earth rod
Dave Gambol's coil giving nice (large) Streamers.
Dave Reeve's new coil having its first day out..
Dave Reeves Coil Running and giving nice arcs from various
breakouts.
Daves Reeves Coil giving some sparks from a pencil
My(Derek Woodroffe) Own Kit , for demonstrations.
Big Tess , giving 2' streamers for the crowd.
Change of topload
for 26" Arcs to ground
Maggot , 8"
Streamer to Air
Ikle Tess, Arcing to
an earthed object. (No kids were harmed during this photo)
Mike Harrison, Detonates
some Gituar wire with his destructatron.
Phil Parry Descovers
that PVC does conduct. (Mike Tucknott, please add to your page!!)
Phil Parry, with a
Lit Sodium lamp from his VTTC
Phil Holding a
screwdriver that is smoking. (no, its not comming from Phil, although he
did burn his finger!!)
Phil Parry &
Mark Hales load a large transformer into into phils car.

Transformer, Could be the start of a scary VTTC
