It seems that a lot of the problems (safety, FCC) with Jacob's Ladders could be solved by putting them in a Faraday cage. I mean, while you're putting that plexiglass chimney around the thing, wrap some wire mesh around the plexiglass and ground it. This would make it even harder for someone to shock themselves with it. It should also block most if not all of the RF interference the device sends out. Anyone out there have technical details about how dense the wire mesh would have to be to reduce RF significantly? Is is just as easy as wrapping chicken wire around the plexiglass tube and connecting it to a water pipe? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | He who hesitates | | rspangle@jarthur.claremont.edu | is last | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
