Re: [TCML] Help for TV pilot about Tesla Coil



Ed,

The prototype ran up to 130kVA and made 55' arcs. This version is MUCH more robust. We got the frames for the SRSGs a few days ago. They are about eight feet long and four feet high and made of square steel tubing. They weight about 800lbs each and will hold the massive 20HP Baldor three phase motors.

The motors, controllers and frames are in the Signal Hill shop. The tungsten company just shipped our custom electrodes and Bill Wysock and Jim Shaffer are almost finished with all the mechanicals. I'll have photos of some of the parts on our blog by this weekend.

Chris,

The World's largest Tesla coils are being built right now in Signal Hill California for the Bejing Olympics.

Each coil runs at 150kW and produces an arc longer than 60 feet for 120' of lightning at once.

The machines are 80% finished and on their way to China on March 30th."

   Have they actually run at this level yet?

Ed
