My (Derek Woodroffe) coils
ready for demo'ing


My IRFP 460 SSTC giving 1' 
arcs to air. at 10BPS. 


Same but at a higher
break rate.


Close up.


One of my un-named small
SSTC's coils driven from a
single irfp460 breaking out
from a 20mm ball bearing.  


Same coil power arcing to a
Screwdriver.


My OLTC2 giving about 2.5'
streamers at 2.5KW!!



My Dead Silicon Total
for the day, One opto - OLTCII,
One Set of 460's from the SSTC
one diode string from the CW Multiplier,
and a pair of transistors from the 
emergency light.



Paul Benhams coil,
(ex Nick field, Ex Etc.Etc..)


A Strike to the roof 5'6"
Spot the emergency light.


Streamers to air..


Just to prove the strike length !!



Philip Strauss's Bonetti
Electrostatic machine



a 100mm arc from the output


a 150mm arc from the
output terminals


Richie Burnetts
HF CW SSTC


An arc to air at 700W 


The power burns the breakout.


A silent bushy discharge.
