Quantum Two
This is the second complete Tesla
Coil I have built. I should definitely mention all my friends who
have also helped in the construction of this coil (and Quantum One).
Perhaps I will get a photograph of all of us, but until then I can just
mention names: Craig Weirich, Chris Crumbliss, Joe Miller, Garrick Daft,
and myself (Tristan Stewart).
Well,
here it is! (9k)
I
am sitting by the coil so you can see approximately how big the coil really
is. (11k)
It's time for some sparks!
