Lightning On Demand

Maker Faire Bay Area 2018

May 18th-20th

Exhibit Fabrication

We're building a pair of 120 foot tall Tesla towers for lightning research.

Our 40ft high 1:3 scale model coil can throw lightning arcs over 60ft.

We'll bring a 9ft Tesla coil to demonstrate various scientific principles and electrical effects.
