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 |
