Re: [TCML] Running a TC in snow

["Jeff W. Parisse" <workshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

TCML,

Bill Wysock installed a waterproof resonator (the SG10-MC, the magnifier 
version of our SG10-TC, was in a climate controlled doghouse) at the Haunted 
Laboratory in Akron OH. The owner reports that the coil works in rain, 
sleet, freezing rain and snow.

So the answer is yes and no.... There are parts that can get wet and parts 
that can't.

Since I remember the magnifier version of our standard kicked out arcs about 
3' longer that the two coil version, Nick and I are winding a set of new 
coils for the SG10-TC that we have at the shop to do some side by side 
comparasons of two and three coil setups. More to come.

Would it be dangerous to run a Tesla coil whilst it was snowing if said 
coil's primary circuit were completely insulated from water and snow? The 
only thing that I'm sure of being dangerous in such a setup is water 
dripping from the top-load down to the secondary and causing racing sparks. 
Also, possibly the arcing of streamers to the primary coil due to the water 
further decreasing air-resistance.
