RE: [TCML] Thumper, the worlds most advanced tesla coil.
Finn,
Excellent work. Now you got to write a book about it! Sure, it's a lot of work at first, but once you're done, its PASSIVE INCOME baby! Having a $1000.00 royalty check magically appear in your checking account every month for two books you wrote 5 years ago is the "gift that's keeps on giving the whole year through!" :)

Thank you for your kind words.
It is my hope, that this machine will be able to provide the media and data needed, for a clearer understanding of the tuning of a DRSSTC to be documented. You have already layed it down in math, my aim is to make it available in intuitive audio-visual form.
Cheers, Finn Hammer
