Hi All,
I have just uploaded the Movie (bit over 7 minutes Mpeg1
format) of the Wendover Coil, A duplicate of Tesla's CS coil with extra
coil, as it beats the daylights out of a Model the USAF had contracted to
be tested. They wanted to see how the composite material stood up to
discharges. Placed inside were electronics in "hardened" areas plus a bunch
of electronic watches. I am told that the watches inside did not do so
well. Using infornation gained in this experiment, the design people went
back to the drawing boards to better protect the electronics so that in a
thunder strorm, the future designs had a better chance of staying in the
air. The movie begins with one of the testers being interviewed about what
they are doing there and why, then the fireworks begin. A mirror has been
placed in sone views to see both the strike area camera can see plus the
back side. Dos file size is 84,639,744 bytes. This is my first VCR to MPG
movie conversion with the USB convertor I bought for this job. To down
load, the link is

For those that have never seen this coil in operation, this is a
chance.Hope you enjoy it.
Regards,Mike
