I was at the Boston Museum of Science today, applying for a job to teach
there, and I checked out their Tesla Coils. They're huge (approx 20"
dia, 8ft. tall), but they did not perform quite up to what I was
expecting. Anybody know who made these, or where they may have come
from? I was suprised to see that even the museum's coils had aluminum
duct + aluminum tape toroids (undersized ones, too). Today was the first
time I have been to the museum this decade, and I don't recall if they
were there back in the 80's. The museum also has two identical vacuum
tube (833) units, which I do know have been there as long as the museum.
