RE: [TCML] Tesla's spinning egg of Columbus

["Jim Mora" <wavetuner@xxxxxxxxx>]

Very cool. Has anyone wound one of these on a big variac core like a 1256d.
Perhaps you could share the specifics if you have. I like the simplicity of
using a clear plate. I have a motor controller that can make 3 phase 240
from single phase 240 at about 2.2KW would this be enough to energize the
core with this configuration? Where to find a core is the next problem. I
have three flawless, complete 1256D's that are not going to be stripped!

Thanks,
Jim Mora

I know that this topic comes up occasionally on the list, but I just
ran across a neat little video of what is basically described in the
subject line. Other interesting videos from MIT are to be found here
too.

Enjoy.
