HV/HE Safety FAQ, an eloquent never forgets.

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

Original poster: "Christopher Boden by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <chrisboden-at-hotmail-dot-com>

First off I would like to thank Terry and the List for the work on the HV 
safety FAQ on hot-streamer-dot-com I've watched it grow quite a bit over the 
years :)

I also blatently plagerized it for the Group's website ;) Thanks guys.

I would like to request the assistance of some of our more litterate and 
eloquent list members to contribute to a High Energy Safety Faq for the 
Group's (and Hot-Streamer as well if Terry likes it) website.

While a lot of the rules are the same, High Energy devices have special 
hazards and precautions in addition to HV gear. Some of our toys, while 
being rather low voltage (450VDC) have massive amperages (~10,000+A). With 
Thumper in the prototype stages, Groucho over half finished, and Harpo (a 
Megavolt Marx bank with over two Tons of 60kV caps) I feel it diligent to 
create a specific HE Safety warning and FAQ.

Please direct responces to me personally as this is _Slightly_ off topic, 
but where matters of safety are concerned I can't think of anyone better 
than the people on this list. And Tesla Coil Tank Circuits _are_ High Energy 
devices :), not just High Voltage.
