Re: hot dog

Original poster: "Paul Marshall" <klugmann@xxxxxxxxxxx>

I once placed a Hot Dog on the live bushing of my 14.4 25 KvA pig. I held it in place with a wire tie and allowed the other end of the dog to arc to ground. It was load limited to 18 Kw. The hot dog ignited like a yellow railroad flare. It was awsome, but stinky. The primary current was monitored at 80 amps.

We also shot a hot dog with 15Kv at 4,500 j. That was a real mess. I had to clean hot dog off of the celing. It just gives you an Idea of how lethal these things can be.....

Have fun but always be careful.

"Microwave ovens cook hot dogs.  Not Tesla coils.  The frequencies are
WAYYYYYYYYYYY too low for cooking.

Skip"

There is a way. Put a nail into each end of the hot dog and hook it in
series with the PRIMARY of the NST. The AC line current flowing through
the hot dog will cook it fairly quickly.
