  Ok, this is slightly off-topic but I really hope Terry will let it slide 
;) Its my 5 minutes of fame, after all! :)
  I did a show for "The Daily Planet" on Discovery Channel talking about 
electromagnetism, electromagnetic propulsion, and demonstrating several EM 
devices, such as thompson's coils, coil guns, and, of course, the Rail Gun 
(fired at such high powers that the barrel cracked). The show turned out 
really well, and I think it'd interest the Tesla Coil community... It can 
be downloaded and seen at

  Assuming Terry will be kind enough to let me post this (like he was with 
the Discovery Channel thing:), please keep any follow-ups off list since 
they are not on topic ;)
  P.S. The "Plasma Boy" thing was the director's idea, not mine.
  Enjoy...
