Doctor Megavolt

Dr. MegaVolt has its roots in my childhood obsession with Tesla Coils. I first saw a coil in 1976. A neighbor had built a coil that generated an arc that was about 2 inches long. I was impressed by the aesthetics of the device itself: the coil of wire and the ceramic insulator on the top did not look like an electrical device to me, rather, it looked like a sculpture. Tesla coils are strange devices - they shoot electricity off into the air. Electricity is something that we rarely see - it usually stays imprisoned inside electrical wires, like a genie in a bottle. Tesla coils release the genie into the air!

Damn this guy is crazy and excellent! Check this site out now!
