[TCML] J Douglass Falk Plasma Globe
I have a very unusual plasma globe.
It is a little over 9" diameter,on a black square block with an intensity
control.
It has a cable that goes to a separate, good sized rectangular power supply
box, (12"x6"x6").
It is very very unusual with it's streamers, not like any other plasma ball
that I have seen so far,
and the electrode is not round, but flattened on the top.
Under the base of the globe, is the following, that is hand written:
Grounds for plasma
J Douglas Falk
7/87
custom
On the power supply is a plaque that reads:
Falk Inc.
186 Paul court
Hillsdale N.J.
07642
Product: Groundstar
Model: Plasma Sculpture
Serial; 2T-R
Mfg date: 787
I have been unable to find anything our about this unit or guy. Except one
person said there was someone with a similar name that made them back then,
and still does now.
It is very professionally made.
Does anyone here know anything about it, or him?
Kevin
PS,
This is talking about a Tesla Coil design, just smaller than what we
normally make, and not using the normal atmosphere. :)
