Re: Voltage triggered spark gaps
Hey all!
Umm..no offense intended...but after dumping a few grand into a
really nice graphic arts-cad/cam-3d animation-kickbutt gaming
system...I don't believe I want to get it anywhere *near* the
coil....or have it plugged in for that matter while the coil is
running....Too much work, too many projects, and waaaaaaay too much
$$$....now..if we can do it off a Commodore64 to control it.
That brings up another question. Somewhere I saw an article on
modulating the TC's power source using a microphone to determind
freqency. Something like that. The quote that stood out was "hear
the coil's voice speak your words" or something like that. I'm
interested in that as a project/attention-getter. And yes, I
realize that the FCC would have a golden kitten. :) But that's
besides the point :) Please contact me off list about it, as I
think it's a little off topic. Thanks for your time all!
