The theoretician tries to understand the mathematics behind something

The engineer tries to design it so it works the first time

The technician fiddles with it until it works

The kid throws the directions away with the wrapping paper and makes toys
out of all the parts, or given a toy figures out how to play with it in
ways unintened or even imagined by the designer.


Every one of them can have fun with tesla coils, and can contribute to
and benefit from this email list!
