| Between June 20th and July 18th 2002, I had the opportunity
to display the "Black & White" TC, as well as a few other HV toys
(Andy's TC, my induction coil, Martins big jacobs ladder) in a public hall
for culture "Voltahalle", called after Alessandro Volta, in the city
of Basel: Nomen est omen, regarding Volts ! The coil was operated at higher power (~14kW / ~17kVA) by doubling the value of primary capacitance (~218nF), compared to former displays of the coil. Free breakout on the toroid and really bright discharges were obtained, while, oddly enough, not much of additional sparklength was observable. It was the first time, when some of the Tesla-activities of our informal group was echoed in the public media; first locally, then also (Swiss-) nationwide. In order of time, our coil appeared in newspaper "Basler Zeitung" ( July 5th), local Basel TV "Telebasel"/(news " 7vor7 ", July 15th), newspaper "Blick" (August 19th) and finally a LIVE-REPORT (via satellite connection) from Swiss TV "SFDRS" / ("CH aktuell", October 9th 2002). Press articles are in german language . |
