Subject: Re: Links for Tesladownunder on Discovery Channel

Here are the international links for the two segements done by the Discovery 
Channel on my stuff some months ago and shown on Sept 4 and 11 in Canada.
The segments are in 700kbs video so needs a reasonable broadband link 
otherwise it ends up as a series of still clips.

Segment 1 is 5:14 mins and shows the vortex generator, electric shocks, can 
crushing and sparks in the pool. The technical explanation got a bit messed 
up in parts. I am NOT applying my big capacitor bank to my head

Segment 2 is 3:45 and shows the TC on the car and the 18 inch coil. They 
tried to show the sparks around the car using CGI to approximate the effect 
of a long photographic exposure but it doesn't really capture the effect 
well. That was always going to be difficult. The 18 inch coil died at the 
end. What happened was that a big 3 phase switch I was using was also 
(unknown to me) a circuit breaker of ?20A. This was one of my early runs but 
I got 8 foot sparks (not shown on the video and I have since got 11 foot 
sparks from it).

If those links dont work, try my site http://tesladownunder.com and go down 
to the videos near the bottom of the index page.


Overall the production was very professional and I think they did a great 
job getting most of the best bits without the ..ummms.. and ..ahhs.. etc. 
Three hours of video condensed in to 9 mins.
I would have liked to see some of the vortex shots in the school gymnasium, 
but these didn't fit the sequencing.
Thanks to Paul Sandland from Canada who arranged the links whom I have 
emailed. Paul is a frequent visitor to the Tesla list.

Enjoy
