I have more than just a passing interest in Nikola Tesla and his inventions. You see, I built a Tesla Coil, (TC), a long time ago and have just started a new one, and I've studied his life and inventions in great detail. I actually caught the bug in high school, when I saw one demonstrated in an electronics class. Absolutely mesmerizing, the way the sparks flew off in all directions, the color, the noise and the way it lit up bulbs without connections.
