I have always been interested in energy - especially energy which goes
from one form to another with a flash, bang or boom. Since tesla coils are
one of the more spectacular ways of wasting energy, I have wanted to build
one for a long time. I obtained three 3kV/50mA neon transformers years ago,
and finally during autumn 2003 I finished the project. On 11.12.2003 was
the "first light" day for my coil TT-1. (I'm not sure that it needs a sequence
number, but hey, engineers love cryptic acronyms... :-) ) After getting the
first version working well, I partially rebuilt it for higher power levels
(the Mark 2 version).
