Just wondering, as it seems as though there are a lot of experienced people on the boards, and as most people knoe, experience comes with age. I myself am 21, and have little to no experience in electronics or physics (aside from classes taken in high school). Im quite proud of myself for puting together a working TC haha

I am 15, too young to drive(or so the law says, i have seen old people drive, and i think i could manage to you know, *NOT* go slower than all hell, not too fast either) so it is hard to get what i need for my projects, but i still manage sometimes. My mom does not like hanging around tool shops like Harbor Freight with all the men, so i have to hurry and look before she is ready to go . Also, i might not get to go to Christopher Hooper's Arizona teslathon because of that.
Would love to say i am proud of myself for making a working tesla coil, but i haven't made a permanent one, just lashups, that never last more than a few days.

I turned 15 in august. I haven't built a real TC yet. I did build something similar to a VTTC though. It wasn't a real TC because it wasn't an air cored transformer.

I am 19 i have been driving legally for 3 years already with 6 years of experience no joke I got my license at 16 I was home schooled that is why I have trouble with communicating sometimes but I went to a trade school for auto mechanics and I was at the top of that class of 30 people and I got a high school diploma from the same school that's why it is sad I am unemployed because of my poor communication skills and I can hardly type it took me about 5 minutes to make this reply.
