Lightning On Demand

Building the world's largest Tesla Coil to study the mysteries of natural lightning. More details at .

@TeamYouTube [BUG] Used "Erase Song" on my video (6.4M views) but it corrupted my spoken intro at 0:08-0:13. Since "Revert to Original" is deprecated, can you escalate for a manual rollback?

I have the original healthy MP4 for reference.

[BUG] Here's a 15 sec clip containing the muted 8 seconds of intro song, and the 5 sec of damaged voice intro.

Recently I had to test a 40kJ capacitor bank. Enjoy some slo-mo of the results! https://t.co/ty9M3QiNjz

Somehow everything made it back home, to the warm confines of the restricted area near San Francisco!
I'll put up some more coil operation images soon as I unpack them.

@styropyro_ btw, @ztresearch (Tom Warner) is the guy who uses Phantom-grade cameras to capture fantastic shots of stepped, dart and upwards ground leaders before the main strike, like these:

We managed to throw a few bolts for Nikola Tesla at his old lab at Wardenclyffe, as part of the @teslascience (Tesla Science Center) celebration!
Here's a shot by @ztresearch (Tom Warner). For scale, top to bottom in the pic is about 60ft. More pics to follow!

Escaped from New York at 2AM with 11,000lb in tow, since the highway signs were forecasting EXTREME GRIDLOCK for tomorrow!
The Cross-Bronx Expressway is delightfully empty at this hour.

[Lightning On Demand @LightningOD]

Almost to Wardenclyffe!
However a trip through PA wouldn't be complete without a stop at Falling Water, by Frank Lloyd Wright. The place is stunning... pics can't do justice!

[Lightning On Demand @LightningOD]

Made it to Indiana, despite the highway degradation as one moves east... Peak Highway seems to be around Utah!
Also stopped by the new experimental compound for @styropyro_ , an avid experimenter in chemistry, lasers and high voltage. Quite the place!

[Lightning On Demand @LightningOD]

Halfway to Wardenclyffe now, with 11,000lb of Tesla Coil in tow. The landscape of the high desert never fails to impress.

First night, in Battle Mountain NV. My neighbors are a group from France, here to set the world's record for fastest human powered vehicle.. 150kph! [kevlar skid plates added for practice]
They really enjoyed examining the wireless-powered trike as well! https://t.co/zgKFY4UzCb

@jamesfmackie @longnow Oh, that one is already finished! Didn't get much crowdsource funding, but over 5 years we did manage to scrounge all the materials! We're demoing this prototype at Wardenclyffe, details here:

Leaving the experimental area in San Francisco with the 1/3 scale coil tower, heading to Long Island again! The new demo date is Sept. 16-17. Details here!

Hi All,

The demo at The Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe has been postponed, my truck sprung a serious fuel leak en route!
https://t.co/4bvFM22ucM
We're trying to find another way to get it there. Anyone have contacts at Norfolk Southern or Union Pacific?

[Lightning On Demand @LightningOD]

Hi All,

July 15th and 16th are now confirmed for our demo of the new 1/3 scale Tesla tower at Tesla's original lab! The event is a fundraiser for the Tesla Science Museum:

We'll also bring the new 'Tesla Roadster':

Here's some interesting satellite imagery showing over 400,000 lightning strikes that happened during and after the Tonga eruption. https://t.co/Z08p5Dv3iX

[Lightning On Demand @LightningOD]

Great crowd at the demo on the 28th, a lot of good technical questions afterwards!
Here's a short clip of one of the experiments, testing the electrical breakdown characteristics of wood.

@2CryptoRich No idea, sorry!

[Lightning On Demand @LightningOD]

Hi All,
The weather looks clear for the free scientific demo this Saturday at 7PM! The robot arm can't make it but we'll debut the new 'Tesla Roadster', whip up some lightning and present some unusual electrical effects.

[Lightning On Demand @LightningOD]

Hi All,
We now have a date for the next public demo -- Saturday Dec 18th, at 7PM! Map and details are at https://t.co/4CIFlk0bWn . We'll present the new wireless-powered roadster as well, and test the effects of high electric fields on a large articulated robot by SRL.

[Lightning On Demand @LightningOD]

@AbeBarker1 Don't know that trick! The tower is a two-coil system besides, no tertiary. ;>
