|
 Martins Coil Gave some good arcs |
 All mostly in the right direction |
 With Minor damage |
 Easily repaired with the loss of 6 turns to the secondary. |
 And the coil lived again with Excelent 6'-7' arcs |
 All Mostly in the Wrong Direction. |
 A 10 second exposure, note a total lack of arcs to the earthed rod. |
 Mark Hales brought a large selection of gas filled tubes |
 and decorative |
 Flowers |
 Roses |
|
 Flamingos |
 Figurines |
 And a couple of Plasma Globes |
 Of different sizes |
 Mike Harrison brought his high speed camera |
 and his "destructotron" Cap bank. |
 First attempt at breaking a pint glass |
 Second attempt |
 The third attempt was successfull. Mike captured this and many other "events" on his high speed camera. Take a look here |
 Philip Strauss brought a SGTC |
 Which was very nicely constructed |
 with every peice polished!! |
 and a pretty good performer too. |
