SALE: BOOKLET-HIGH VOLTAGE GENERATION WITH AIR CORE SOLENOIDS. This 55-page bound booklet is the author's 20-year experience with Tesla coils and what you can do with them. It isn't photocopies of old patents or obscure overly technical theory. It consists of extensively detailed results of studies showing why some components and construction practices make good Tesla coils and why some do not.

The booklet also discusses tube oscillators, triggered gaps, mode-switching coils, and extra coil systems. In addition, it shows how to build cheap plasma lights, kicker coils, induction coils, and singing coils (two types). There is also information included on phosphors, gas colors, two methods of rectification, and beginning ideas for high-energy plasma physics experiments. This is pragmatic technical information to get you started fast and with the right materials. Available for $25 from The Creative Complex, 8219 E. Meadowbrook Ave., Scottsdale, AZ 85251/

Price Reduction

The majority of newcomers to TCBA have requested information about purchasing back issues. Buying all of our back issues comes to quite a sum of money. Consequently, TCBA is going to make it a bit easier for new members to obtain back issues. The new prices for back issues for 1982 (2), 1983 (4), and 1984 (4) will be $3 each. Our 1985 publication will continue to be $4 each but will be discounted at a future date.

SALE: RADIO BOOKS, CATALOGS, ETC. Write J.P. Gardner, 44 Royal Ave., Buffalo, NY 14207. SASE please.

“Signal” Rotary Spark Gap
No. R8 - 1 KW. - $24.00

On our R8 Rotary Spark Gap we use a universal motor of about 1/12 H.P. and of very high speed. We use Formica for mounting blocks and rotary discs. Note the flat blade rotary electrodes which by proper quenching keep them well below room temperature. The quickness of break is made adjustable by means of stationary electrodes which may be moved towards or away from the rotary electrodes and which may also be pivoted upon their mounting.
