I'm building a Tesla Coil
I've started the initial research into building my own backyard Tesla Coils. The first will be a small but powerful one, capable of generating 400,000 VAC. The first coil will be technology demonstrator as well as something to cut my teeth on so to speak in lightning creation. I'm making a journal and keeping notes on the progress. I hope to begin construction of the prototype in two weeks or so. I've affectionately named it Cocijo - after a little known Meso-American thunder god.

Well get to it so I can have my Tesla Suit of electrical death.
Or my boat with two tesla coils on it! "Nobody can tell what is right and what is wrong; what is righteous and what is evil. Even if there is a god and I had his teachings right before me, I would think it through and decide if that was right or wrong myself." - Near, Death Note |

You might want to get a bank loan to cover the resulting power bill.

RE: I'm building a Tesla Coil
Coolio  Good luck with your project CTBSD. The same colour blood just pass through our veins and tears taste the same when they splash on your face. Cant separate and still carry the weight, gotta heal get away from the fear and the hate. Gotta shake free from them chains, you see what remains, just a human being at the end of the day. |

I'm surprised he didn't put a grounded wire shield around the keyboard to protect it from ESD damage. Note how the neon question mark on the left glows in the presence of the intense electric field generated by the Tesla Coil.
