| The new-pics were taken December 4th, 2000, by Kurt, on normal ASA200
color-film. The difference of taking pic's on ASA50 is amazing: a lot more
streamers are recorded, using about the same time exposures. - OK,...these
pictures show more of a spectacular view of the sparks, but not necessarily
a more realistic one, to what the occasional spectator can see: The human
eye is not 'collecting sparks' over an extended time (like a time exposure),
but merely recognizing one 'dancing' spark at one time.
The first 4 spark-pics show how the museum was liking to present the TC to the public. The distance of the target electrode is very short, compared to what B&W can do (about 2.7m -- 9'). The last 8 spark-pics show some sparks, we were getting, using Martin Damev's ASRSG + my Langenthal blast-static-gap in series, together with Martins big X-Ray Transformer . The linear distance of the ladder from the breakout-point is 3.7m (12'). The temperature rise of the ASRSG electrodes was much lower, compared to some tests before, without static-gap. |
