forgot to congratulate "..." on getting the 2k post mark for this thread!
here are some more Large Format Photos I got back from the lab... The first one is my also my first successful long exposure start photograph, exposed for around 15 minutes; the second one is a photo of a tree at my school (the sun washed out though) and the photo beneath it is a subsection of it. With large format photography, it is possible to take very small sections of the negative and make a good quality image; The next one is of a cactus grove, and the one below that is, as with the tree, a subsection of the first one. This one is not as good quality, mainly because I threw the focus off a bit and it is a much smaller section.

Another successful trip to the recycler. This time stacks of capacitors [low ESR (30mOhm) & low ESL (17nH)] all at 2,200uF @ 500VDC, lots of flexible 1000V 1/0 & 4 AWG jumpers, lots of copper bus-bars, 2mH @ 120A chokes, all sorts of stuff in pristine condition - ex-equipment but never used and now decommisioned...

I cannot even begin to explain how envious i am. Especially of those RIFAs!

Finally got my Class-E SSTC case underway...For those who want to know, it's a Hammond Diecaste aluminum RFI/EMI shielding case. So far all is going well on it, Capacitors and transformer is mounted down, currently is going to support 60V doubled (Yes i know this is mains power but i wanted limited amperage) Later if things go well, i may consider mains or mains doubled.
I also on Friday got my 200mW Green laser, yay! Sadly the battery ship separate for FDA reasons, those come Monday or Tuesday. And yes, I do have proper IR / Green laser blocking glasses...Don't want to fool around with a 200mW without them.

It's been a very long time since I posted here... 2008 I believe. Been following though. The reason is I gave up most, if not all of my HV, Tesla, mechanical TV and radio hobbies was to persue a new one. (Had to sell everything and raise cash somehow.)And what a good thread to show it off. Snooch was originally a 1990 Suzuki GSXR1100L. Now its a 1216cc, blow through turbocharged, 125 octane fuel drag bike. Now at Mk3 and by the weekend will be Mk4. Between 220 and 380 BHP depending on boost setting. I'm in my second season running in the ACU 9.50 second class. The bike will run 8 seconds, but not with the swingarm seen in the pictures. That's now off and a 72" wheelbase one going in its place. All mods are custom made by a UK turbo guru and personal friend. Hope you enjoy it... Cheers. Mark.

Ohh, nice Gixxer, Baird! I would give up most of my projects to pursue the dream of building the dune buggy, but it's 7 grand for the frame and associated parts, and 2k for a used Hayabusa engine. Hopefully one day...!

Cheers... Gixxers in the UK are starting to fetch good money. An '86 "Slabby" can fetch £1000 in reasonable condition and a Slingshot or L (such as mine) £1500 - 2k. The Old Skool Suzuki lot are to blame. Many Gixxers get trashed and then "Streetfightered." Mine was a streetfighter, but I junked the flat bars, tiny fairing, Earl's oil cooler etc, put clipons and fairing back on plus stage 3 Dynojetted carbs, open pipe and Pingel air shifter to race last year. The 1127 engine was tired and 11.003 seconds was my best time. Now I have an MTC lockup clutch, 1216cc and TD04 turbo, with the longer arm, it should do 9.5 seconds without breaking into a sweat. Whether "I" can do 9.5, is another thing. I built most of this myself. The only thing I didn't fabricate was the new swingarm and turbo pipework. Turbo work itself came in excess of £1500 and that was very cheap. A usual figure would be over 3k for turbo work on one of these. Sure I could by a 7 year old Busa or K3 for that money... But where's the fun? A dune buggy with a blown Busa would be something too. I've seen dyno shootouts of blown/gas Busa's putting out over 700 horses with rumours of 1000 bhp. Totally unrideable as a road bike, but a bug! Wow...
