Re: Our fun Teslathon / Lightning on the Lawn party

The event was certainly fun!  Thank you for hosting it!

The "famous" Tesla gun did not show up - I don't think the designer did either.

I think the Mr. Electricio get-up needs a little bit more thought for next year....

The pic Jeff Larson took of the cannon at night was impressive. I'm not sure how he was able to time the shot! I keep thinking that a similar cannon would make a great addition to my collection, but I think my neighbors are much less forgiving (and much closer) than yours!

Terry Blake, among others, was taking video and stills. I would think he'll have them up on his website pretty soon....

DC, I hope you are able to take a week or two off to relax and heal up a bit. You've certainly earned a vacation after all the planning and setup for the event! :)

Best Regards,

Mark Broker

A great big special thanks to all of those who pitched in and helped me out during my "weaker hours" at the Teslathon. Bert, Jeff, Jerrimiah, and Steve with wiring, and especially Jeff Larson who always had a chair ready for me when I got weak looking. Just in time in most cases.

Chris Hooper's minature solid state TCs had amazing performance and
the construction work was super.  Unique in their red acrylic
housings.  Steve Ward's solid state coils again dominated the large
SSTC scene.  Bert's amazing linear accelerator figures were a great
hit with the special LED lighting.  The general public truly got a
show they never get a chance to see.  Everyone seemed to gobble up my
bargains like a 30 x 7 inch toroid for $45 (small dent) and $18 coilforms.

We still have a $40 pole pig, 10 kVA, 14.4 kV, with missing bushing
if anyone wants it --- pickup only at our shop -- no shipping.

If anyone wants a 2005 Lightning on the Lawn t-shirt I still have a
few left --- they are $12 plus $4.75 for shipping.  Contact me off
list if interested.

I look forward to seeing the photos of our KREW (Kinetic Resonance
Energy Weapon) firing at imaginary targets in the woods.  Not to
mention that silly car alarm that kept going off.  Or did we hit the
car perhaps???
