My video made it on Boingboing.net

Wow. My Slow mo Tesla video i dedicated to The Flaming Lips, and Tesla of course, made it on to boingboing.net's homepage
Not sure how long articles stay on the front end of boingboing but if its gone here is the perma link there.

Right now they are sending Energetciforum.com some love.
Thanks Boingboing!

Really need to add that i found this REALLY helpful pdf on building a Tesla coil with some basic instructions and pointers.

Also found this awesome Tesla Coil CAD Version 2.0 that does most your winding and capacitance calculating based on some basic specs.


Also some images of my first Tesla coil running.





Thats all for now. I'm just in the process of starting 2264 windings over 3'x6" on a 4' long sauna tubing. Haven't had as much time as i planned to work on my new coil as of late but all things do come eventually. Will update with some images of the components i'm putting together for the new one.
