Mark:

The coils you saw at Discovery World are a pair of our tandem model M-150
units, each developing 1 million volts.

These coils, along with the museum, have moved over to Wells Street in
Milwaukee, and they still do shows with them on a daily basis.

We have had this pair of coils running at the museum for over 15 years and
one of these was used in Paul Krajniak's play, "Last of the Dinosaurs".
Paul is now exec. director of the museum.
