For future reference: Hey Dana, this is sci.electronics, >and you're wasting the bandwidth d00d. I'm not certain how much maturity it takes to ignore common sense and courtesy, much less Federal law. But, it certainly is possible that David does "enough maturity" to pursue his childish project. Despite your arrogant statement to the contrary, David IS listening. I've received a couple of very intelligent messages from him, indicating a level of maturity that I'd not given him credit for. They go something like this: "You hams are such a bunch of silly-billes". "You are just soooooooo silly." I'm aware that this is sci.electronics. I never cease to marvel at the number of non-contributors, like you, Isaac, who really do scarf up network bandwidth with frivolity like: "How do I make a radar jammer?" "How can I jam my neighbor's stereo?" "How can I make really big sparks" "How can I get real good range on my CB?" "How can I get free phone calls?" Furthermore, some of the parasites are offended when someone else points out what they want to do is impractical/impossible/illegal. ***************************************************************** * Dana H.

What's wrong with really big sparks? :-) :-) ...then again, I *am* very familiar with the behaviour of high-potential, high-frequency electricity. Building the little Tesla was fun, but 10" of corona just didn't satisfy me, so I asked that exact question: How Can I Make Really Big Sparks? I don't remember the reference now, but you can get a copy of Nikola Tesla's New York lectures, printed circa 1920 (??)... and if you're really industrious, you can build some of his disruptive discharge coils right from the original plans :-) I'm working on a modified coil now. There's a general rule by which you can judge the size of a coil's output discharge (how big of a gap the output spark can jump): on a ridiculously dry and favourable day, a given coil's discharge can exceed the length of the actual coil (secondary coil, of course). I've wrapped a 6' secondary for my second shot at it. Only thing is, if I ever get the capacitor and spark-gap built, I'll have to find a friend with a farm in the boonies of PA or something like that... don't want the FCC breathing down my neck, especially after finding out the radius of radio disruption the *little* coil produced. Sheesh... ...and I don't think I'd be too keen on coming into contact with the output of the big one. That was one of the fun things about the little guy; you could actually touch the output terminal (with a metal object in your hand, of course) and draw a spark off of it. Makes for good classroom demonstrations. -marcus- -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Opinions expressed above are not necessarily those of anyone in particular." `...but do YOU own a | INET: cygnus@udel.edu homemade 6ft Tesla?' | UUCP: {yourpick}!cfg!udel!cygnus
