Nottingham Gaussfest 2010
Nottingham Gaussfest 2010 Dave brought his Small Marx That gave 130Kv arcs Powered by two large CW multipliers from mains Daves Cap bank dinted some cans..
With possibly the most complex control system ever seen in a cap bank If you need a can with a waist see Dave A collection of Derek's Small DRSSTC's and laptop control A collection of Derek's NOAH DRSSTC's with new control system
A small 1.5" tall bi-polar coil The inside of the smallest Battery Powered DRSSTC in the world !! Earl at his Magnifier's controls Giving Good sparks as usual
More power into the Hall Roof Running really smoothly Running really smoothly Until his rotary became bigger that it was before!!
Jasons 1Kw DC charging Tesla Coil Gave a great display Jason at the controls The whole coil and rotary
Karim brought a couple of DRSSTC's And perswaded a couple Of the Visitors to play the gituar and keyboard through them
Karim also brought a Solid State Jacobs ladder Which ran flawlessley throughout the day Phil Tuck Arrived and started to build his coil assisted by Phil Strauss
On a ground plane of chicken wire His coil performed Very Well Both to air
and to a breakout Until a secondary Strike hit but removing a couple of turns and cleaning
Put it back into action Untill his rotary controller died from a failed capacitor Which was quickly replaced and he went fishing for sparks
and put more power in to the roof and acheived a 6' (almost direct) strike Watched by a number of visitors

Nottingham Gaussfest 2011 Chris Brought a couple of Plasma Balls and some flourecent tubes Dave brough his Marx which intermittantly gave 300mm Arcs Dave also brought his can crusher. Dave's Marx Power supply
Dave's Small Marx Dereks Halo SSTC produces 4 breakouts Dereks DRSSTC-LET running on a tray Chris invites in aliens with a pair of fluorescent tubes powered from Halo
Dereks Halo with 4 rotating arcs Chris and his fluorescents again with Dereks Halo Dereks Halo SSTC Karim Setus up his dual musical DRSSTC's
Karim's mains filter !! Karim's Sets off his MIDI files from his laptop Karim's Producing a great display To music
With large 4' Arcs Phill Tuck brought his newly rebuilt Tesla Coil which appeared to have cought something nasty but has a very well built rotary and cap bank
Phillip Strauss takes a rest whilst watching Phil Build his coil Which ran very well Which ran with some loud bangs From his new cap bank
but large arcs to ground and the roof The cap bank eventually broke down and burnt some insulation Which was fixed with some silicon tubing and Phill was back on line
With even more power from a 24mH choke from Phillip Which actually was 17mH (loads more power) Chris lent his fluorescents as a strike pole which wasnt too well earthed
A new tesla coil made out of fluorescent green acrylic A really nice looking coil That works too
