Hi all,

Many years ago, the Hansen Planetarium in Salt Lake City, UT featured a
high voltage show for most of the summer.  The show, put on by a visiting
person or group, was done inside the planetarium dome (the star projector
was removed). The show included various demonstrations with a TC with a
large torroid top terminal.  The coil was probably running at a few KVA
which produced at least five foot rather spectacular sparks which would
jump to a Faraday cage with a person inside, etc.  It was quite an
interesting demonstration and show.

Does anyone know who put on the show and who built the coil?

Thanks,

--Steve Young

P.s. Are there any other Utah coilers on the list?
