My Stuff

Franklin’s Door chimes (like Franklin’s bells)

My Van De Graff and a Moving Static Display.

Alex’s Stuff

The screech of audio being murdered by his audio modulated coil

One tesla coil (that didn’t explode this year)

A panel to confuse and confound the kids.

Small Classic coil and slayer tesla coils

Lighting Flourecent lap lighting from audio coil

Alex holds the ‘brown end’ of a flourecent lamp

Dave’s Coil

Phil T and Phil S’s Coil(s)

Fantastic engineering on the rorary Electrode holders

John and Steves’s stuff

Steve’s coil with rotating Breakout

Marks battery powered coil.

(sorry no photo)

Other interesting stuff from Cambridge 2015

The small time-vortex caused by a localised distortion in the force.

Also: Slow Motion Sparks from Cambridge Teslathon 2015

With thanks to all of the Coilers (and wives) who brought stuff and supported us, Staff and volunteers at Cambridge Museum of Technology who let us abuse their electricity supply for the day and the visitors who asked some great questions this year.

Watch this space for details of next years Teslathon at the end of October 2016.
