[TCML] (somewhat) high speed plasma photos from coil/capacitor interactions

[Josh Bailey <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Evening all;

Friend Mike Kennan and I have been experimenting with discharging a 
relatively most capacitor bank (100uF, 4.5kV) with a relatively modest 
Tesla coil (rotary gap, 8kV/60mA primary).

Above are some (I think) interesting photographic results. All are light 
triggered, "ISO" 3200 1/3000 and 1/4000 digital SLR shots - the camera is 
triggered by a sensor/microcontroller combination (the flash of the bank 
discharging).

To me the most interesting is the first, with two fairly luminous areas 
and one probably very recently luminous (far left, next to topload).

Care to conjecture on the forces at play here?
