Zapping Ravers
Original poster: "Greg Leyh by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <lod-at-pacbell-dot-net>
From LA Times Magazine, January 6 2002:
"At the 1998 installment of... Burning Man, Klinge marvelled at the
fireworks produced by a 17-foot-tall coil sculpture and knew he had to
build his own. In 1998, he completed a 7-foot-tall, 5,500-watt unit
generating 6-foot-long arcs. He has appeared with his creation at parties
and festivals such as the Electric Daisy Carnival rave event.... He's also
collaborating with Tesla coil performance artist Austin Richards of Santa
Barbara (a.k.a. "Dr. MegaVolt") on a two-story, 120,000-watt sculpture
equipped with a ladder for people to ascend while the coil is firing."
Wouldn't the last part - hopefully a misquote - be a serious misreading of
Faraday's law?
Sooner or later someone's going to bug-zap a raver.
