I have a webpage of my stuff but have no spark pics on it.
http://teslapages.freeservers-dot-com/ or
http://teslapages.freeservers-dot-com/MOT.html
I have wasted two rolls of film and have not even got one picture to turn
out of the sparks. Right now I have the coil tore apart because I had some
problems with primary strikes and my capacitor, and I haven't got much done
in the past few weeks because of the cold and semester exams (just got home
from the last of those :-).
