Re: [TCML] Fried It !

That's why in my car shots I used a hire car with extra insurance.

More recently I have obtained a $100 car from the wreckers so I can be more destructive with lightning simulations with exploding wires.

.....On the 1996 ford taurus, something in the computer

failed making the car un-usable, this coincided with me running the tesla
coil in the garage.  That is, after running the coil near the car, the
computer was trashed (first and last time i would ever do that).  No, it
never arced to the car, and i'd estimate the car was maybe 8-10 feet away
from the coil itself.  The computer had to be replaced, i dont recall the
cost but it wasn't as cheap.

I personally would not run my coil that close to a modern motor vehicle
either.
Call me paranoid but there are numerous electronic devices that could
be damaged by EMPs.
