RE: [TCML] Is my 10" Tesla Coil Illegal ?



Hi Gary,

How good is your RF ground and RF cabling? That is an awesome coil; but, it
is a bit surprising the range of the hash. Clearly you can run at lower
power levels if your ground(s) is good enough.

Subject: [TCML] Is my 10" Tesla Coil Illegal ?

This time of the year when the air is cold and the humidity is extremely low
static electricity is very high I get shocked every time I get IN or OUT of
my SUV, take off my jacket or put on my jacket.  If I move the blankets in
bed at night I see all kinds of sparks.  It is perfect for firing up my
Tesla Coil and getting some very long sparks.   But I worry that this might
be illegal.  My 10" TC makes 12 foot arcs I can make a 27 ft circle of arcs
and sparks in the back yard with the 3 ft top load.  It makes every motion
detector light and every security alarm system go off in a 4 block radius
around my house.  After dark I can see motion detectors lights going on/off,
on/off, on/off, on/off, on/off, in all directions as far as I can see.  My
automatic garage door and all the neighbors garage doors are freaked out
going up/down, up/down, up/down, up/down, up/down, up/down, over and over.
I can hear security alarms in all directions.  I road my bicycle through the
neighbor hood and I can find alarm systems going off 4 blocks away in
several directions from my house.  It totally distroys TV and it makes no
difference if you have cable, satallite, or antenna TV is totally wiped out
all reception for several blocks.  I don't fire up my 10" TC very often
anymore I worry it might be illegal.
