[TCML] Tesla coils on italian TV show!

[Fabio <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All!

Few months ago, i was contacted by the society who organize all courage 
tests for an important italian TV show: their wanted a fear test with 
sparks!  :-O

during a short meeting with me, they understood that it could be easily 
organized so, after few discarded ideas, the test was designed and 
scheduled!  :-D

I selected two members as helpers from ALTATENSIONE mailing list and we 
finally moved in Rome "Cinecittà" with our appliances for setting the 
test, in spite of the small duration of the test, the developement of 
entire set was surprisingly longer and many-many-many people was 
required (3 coilers plus one tailor, 5 carpenters, 6 cameramans, 2 audio 
technicians, 6 light technicians, 1 electrician and many others..... at 
least 30 people were used in 5 days of development!!!!)

It was a special opportunity to know and work for the strange world of 
television and, of course, a special opportunity to make known the tesla 
coils in Italy, the statistics have placed "Ciao Darwin" to first place 
in the audience with 24% share during the Tesla Coil test!


anyhow, the test was a disaster......

The first competitor was stopped in mid for a "scared problem", the 
second refused the test after seeing the first one so the production 
decided to offer only 150 points for the first team (the minimum 
allowable!) and no points for the second team!   :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D



The video of this courage test is available here, sorry for bad audio 
stream, anyway it is in Italian language.
