Visit to the Tesla coil builders of Fortworth Texas September 2007

In September of this year while on holiday in Texas I paid a visit to the Tesla coil builders of  Fort worth, where I met up with Phil Rembold, Bert Pool and a few others in their group. The day was spent looking at their very large coil called the "Texas Warthog", playing with lasers and their coin shrinker. Below are a few pictures from the day.

Thanks Guys it was a great day.

Power for the "Hog" comes from 3 pole pigs and below the inductive ballast to limit the current.

  

Below Bert stands next to some Texas style BIG caps.
