Thanks Bob Sounds like some good projects. A nieghbor built a trebuchet, threw mellons quite a distance. I haven’t read the book, just Tesla’s. Tesla confused spark length with radio transmitter efficacy. Stay Charged Mark

In that book there is an extensive part about a guy that wants to generate power for everyone by building a giant Tesla Coil. The Tesla Coil did not work in that book. I also have thought about building a Tesla Coil, but I also want to build a trebuchet. Unfortunately I’m still working on my solar water heater, my battery backup for the solar panels, earth tubes and many other projects. Retired does not mean having nothing to do ...
