Yes, I remember.

And so will Paul Kidwell, Scott Coppersmith, Mark Broker, and a couple dozen
other people. We did that at The Geek Group's Teslathon in 2001 or 2002. It
was done at our Sigma-6 Labs using a 10kVA coil built by Scott.

And, for the record, the computer did NOT ignite on it's own. We hit it with
direct arcs to the motherboard (removed the case cover) several times and
all it did was reboot into safe mode.

It DID ignite later, but that's after we got determined to kill it and added
some chemical assistance.

I'll recreate the demo in a couple days and shoot come video for everyone.

Hello all,
   Does anyone remember a post WAY back in the day of a teslathon
where *direct* strikes to a computer were tested? I seem to remember
that the machine under test was fine (except for a few reboots) until
the groung prong on the plug was cut..

Thas had to have been *years* ago.. there was video of the test.. I
just can't remember when or who..
