Re: [TCML] New Geen Monster picks on Flickr



John,

I'm not really sure how close the Maxwell cap brings the pig
to resonance. The cap is just in the circuit path of the shorting
lead between the pig's two hot terminals - inseries with the
output of the pig, not in parallel, as in a Tesla coil circuit. All
I know is that the addition of hte cap in the shorting path just
about doubles the arc's "pullout" lenght before it lets go. :^)

Those pole pig arcs are nothing short of awesome.  About how close to
resonance does the .44uf capacitor make it?  Also very nice work on the
control cabinet and that last pic of the 15' ground strike is very cool.

Hi all,

For anyone interested, I just opened up a new
Flickr page and started uploading a few pics of
my Tesla coil setup. I stole a few images from
Phillip Slawinski's that he took of my setup while
he and Cameron Prince were over here this past
Friday for the "Mini-Midsouth-Teslathon" but I jsut
took a few more pics of my own to add to  it as
well ;^) I will be adding more, but this should give
you a bit of an overview of my setup. Enjoy.
