Maker Faire Central Oregon 2023
500,000 volt Tesla Coil Demonstrations
Home: Oregon, United States
Tesla Coils generate 500,000 volt, 3 foot flaming bolts of man-made lightning, and we will demonstrate these and 9 other High Voltage devices. We will explain the science behind the beautiful and spectacular Arcs, Sparks and Corona discharges.

I have always been fascinated by the beauty and excitement I see in high voltage discharges, and I am challenged by the difficulty in designing, building and operating this equipment.
