8 inch with Breakout Point
Cambridge 2010: 6kW~
Shot during the initial setting up stage when I was tuning it. Power and capacitor were slightly lower than above in 2011 |

The 8 inch with a BP
Cambridge 2010: 6kW~
I once saw another video of a coil shot from this angle, and it shows up ground strikes quiet nicely. Admittedly the other coil was more impressive, but it was also a lot more powerful.
The strike screen is about 8 feet away and the ground strikes are just over 6 feet. |

The 8 inch with and without a BP
Cambridge 2010: 6kW~
Another unusual angle, this time the camera and tripod were perched precariously on a rickety wooden table.
Apologies for my take-off of the famous quote from the 1979 film 'Apocalypse Now', you can hear at the end. |
