The Nardelle Family greatly appreciates your donation, it will greatly help us. Please keep in mind that we received zero federal aid and have no way of survival at this point and our kids and Wife so greatly appreciate your donation, it will help us lead a somewhat normal life which we hope to one day return to. Thank you so very much and god bless you! We are about to lose our business and truck to the finance company and were turned down by the SBA and FEMA and now need your help more then ever. Our utilities are about to be shut down along with everything else we have in service.

Gulf Hurricane Weather Radar Loop and Images - Latest Live Radar!
This is a interesting picture of a metal rod pointing at a ground, the film was 400 and the exposure time was 1 second, this picture was taken of my coil before I made the changes. Since the new changes my RFI problems are gone now, I had a neighbor that complained of noise in his computer speakers and on TV. I offered to replace his cable wire with new double shielded cable, buy him a new phone, and also have gave him a ferite toroid for his computer speaker wires. (his cable wire is old and rotten with bad connectors) I have installed a ground rod tied to his fuse panel but he has refused any help and still complains. I found that he will complain about RFI even when it is a audio recording of my coil playing over my stereo. Just a hint for those that are bothered by curious people. I have found that people who are stupid to technology and science will be afraid of stuff like this and they will try to stop it rather than educate themselves about it first.
These are some interesting frames from video that I captured on my computer, they show the coil in the dark, the coil with a screw allowing for the sparks to break out the sphere and the captures of the movie screen getting hit with sparks. I am running this coil off a 12KV 120MA 120VAC Neon Transformer.
I have since upgraded my spark gaps and added two more capacitors, I now use a toroid and the primary had also been reworked. This is a single video frame capture of a spark from the toroid since the upgrade.
This is my coil with a very dented toroid.
These are some of the gaps I built, Mike Hammer came up with this idea and I have to credit him with it. THEY WORK GREAT! THANKS MIKE! on 02-06-97 I upgraded the gaps with a fan and copper wire lugs, also another big factor was changing the neon HV wire to #4 stranded Cu wire cut very short to reduce RFI.

The coil is a three coil Resonator system posted by:David Trimmell . These are some great pictures of a very well built coil.
