Hi
I am just reading the threads and put some ideas in notes for the future (at retirement maibe..). No much time to play with coils like in the old days. Maibe some thons in the warm season to see your coils.:)

When I first joined the TCML back around
2002,I used to receive about 20 messages per day from the
TCML. Now, I am lucky if I see a single message every few
days. On occasion, I will see periodic bursts of postings in
response to specific questions from members. Have all the
members moved on to other interests or died? We need to
determine a way to get new people interested in this hobby.
I fear that most of the potential younger members are
absorbed in computer-related things. There is nothing wrong
with that. I spent most of my engineering career developing
real-time embedded DSP software. We just need to discover a
way to expand their interests into the world of physical
hardware, especially high voltage. I built my first tesla
coil, a small VTTC, when I was 16 and this is what got me
interested in electrical engineering as a career. I
periodically display my coils to kids in my neighborhood. I
also plan to take my smaller coils around to schools for
demonstrations.
Thoughts?
