(IAAPA= International Association of Amusment Parks and Attractions) I was wandering around the 3 million square foot floor, when I heard a noise. I had thought, "That sounds exactly like a Tesla Coil!" I wander to the source, and exclaim, "It IS a Tesla Coil!" I go up to the exhibitor. In the entire event, places have samples or demonstrations. Not only did I get to see it on, I got to wear a chain mail glove and touch the arcs! I asked him to record a video. I will post a link to it as soon as I get home (as I am in school right now) because the school blocks off YouTube. I can hands down say that it was the best field trip ever! Also, the center's floor is REALLY huge, and I am wondering if a Teslathon could be hosted there at least once smile

EDIT:


Also, this is the exhibitor's business card.

Yeah Faraday shielding can be fun, we have a full suit of chain mail that we get into from time to time while playing with our big DRs.


Me in the suit Link2

It get's really heavy after a while.... like wearing a bunch of bricks... oh well it's fun none the less smile


Also I think I've seen those ATT guys before at that event. They had a rather large DRSSTC at one of there events.

Sam Barros was one of the founding members of this forum. He left to start his own Powerlabs forum.

Well assuming it's the same Sam Barros. Did he have any fingers missing?

I didn't notice. I was too excited to notice. Why? Does he? If so... I don't want to know why... tongue
