Just bought a Tesla Coil

[hmg]

One of these

I'm hoping it will serve as a substitute for a personality.

You're officially the new King of Dissensus. We need VIDEOS, dammit! Get that thing up and running!

This has sorta ruined it for me.

Soon as it's here and I've had my pacemaker shielded, I'll plug him in (ships are shes, TCs are hes) and upload the results.

*insane witterings about embedded pathological patriarchies*

You're right of course, I can't really think of any inanimate object that's more a 'he' than a Tesla coil is.

This has sorta ruined it for me.

This might do likewise, a recreation of a century-old meeting between Tessla, Edison, and J.P. Morgan (Orson again) presiding over the fate of the Tessla's newly-invented AC motor. I wonder if this is - ultimately - why the current J. P. Morgan runs and controls the Central Bank of Iraq (for the benefit of the advancement of science and the people of Iraq, of course, where Tesla coils are now abundant but electricity is a novelty):

Big Coil Looney

 

[hmg]

It arrived

It runs at 110V so now I need to buy a suitably monstrous step-down transformer. Yippee.
