Well fellow coilers, I have sat silently for a couple of years finishing up my primary research and academic duties. However, I have started up a new business in that time dedicated to special aspects of high voltage equipment. There are some spun aluminum toroids that you might be interested in. The business is not dedicated to Tesla equipment alone, albeit as the product list builds you will find more items of interest.
There is a decent video of my VTTC using one of the toroids available in a test. Bert Hickman was over a short while ago and elected not to stand too close. It can produce 36" streamers and the video test has near continuous 30" power arcs. So having paid my dues to the academic world, I'll get back to posting and running the shop and having a lot of fun. Take a look at:
