Nevada Lightning Laboratory Experiments
The Nevada Lightning Laboratory were recently trying many experiments, such as what would happen if you flew a small radio controlled helicopter between two Tesla coils, could a small vehicle big enough for one person be powered using a Tesla coil. Watch the videos below for the cool answers.

Tesla's New York Laboratory Up For Sale
In 1901, Nikola Tesla began work on a global system of giant towers meant to relay through the air not only news, stock reports and even pictures but also, unbeknown to investors such as J. Pierpont Morgan, free electricity for one and all.

Modern Thinker
This is my interpretation of Rodin's classic sculpture, the "Thinker".
I wanted to convey the concept of the modern electrical age with the barrage of electrical interference in our lives. So much is happening and demanding our attention that it is difficult to "think".
I decided upon a real life posture like the thinker with a lot of electrical activity around me with sparks onto my body.
In doing this I wanted to do something new that also challenged the boundaries and that is new to the internet. I decided to use my established techniques of long exposures and a moving rod trailing sparks with an "eye of Sauron" effect. The aim was to have a semicircle of sparks over my body while in the "thinker" pose.

Hi Volt Antivirus: Tesla Coil Protection for Your Laptop
The photo above shows a golden ring of sparks around my laptop. I reckon it looks like one of those rings of power around a World of Warcraft character protecting it. From what? Viruses of course. Hence "High voltage antivirus" - for PC or Mac.

Red Alert Tesla coil
The Soviet Tesla coil fires a long lightning bolt at a hapless Allied soldier while a Tesla trooper provides extra power. A conscript is on guard and an engineer sets off.

An Update on Wireless Power
Many of you found “The wire we REALLY need less of!”, my previous posting about the potential of having electrical power without wires, to be both interesting and high on your wish list. As I understand it, the research work continues to build in this area.

Duckon 2007-Singing Tesla Coil video
This is a solid-state Tesla coil. The primary runs at its resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and is modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear.
What's not immediately obvious in this video is how loud this is. Many people were covering their ears, dogs were barking. In the sections where the crowd is cheering and the coils is starting and stopping, you can hear the the crowd is drowned out by the coil when it's firing.

Dr. MegaVolt
Tesla coils are interesting devices. Many people think that they are nothing more then transformers with high turns ratios, but they aren't really much like conventional transformers. A conventional transformer is an inductive device; capacitive effects are usually minimal. Conventional transformers have very tight coupling between the primary and secondary windings; this is accomplished by using magnetic cores which have high permeability. Tesla coils have air cores. this is for several interesting reasons: standard magnetic materials typically have electrical conductivity, requiring massive insulation to prevent flashovers in a high-voltage transformer. The second reason is that many magnetic materials are very lossy at high frequencies, which is where Tesla coils operate.

Dalek cage
This is a snug single person Faraday cage to enable the lucky person inside to get up close and personal with 6 foot sparks. It's shape is reminiscent of a Dalek from Dr Who. Remember "We will ex-term-in-ate". It is a simple walk in and walk out affair, open at the back.
