Hi forum
The last 4 days I was visiting Milan for a professional meeting (ESMO congress), so I have the great occasion to visit Vladimiro Mazzilli, in Settimo Milanese, as planned since 2009. After a few phone calls I was very happy to find him at home. He demonstrated a few of his well known mini TCs and have a great time together. Thanx Mazzilli, this is the first time I meet a foreign coiler in person. ...and a few pics of course:
Mazzilli demonstrating his EL509 VTTC:
I would give an year from my life for this picture:
Mazzilli demonstrating his pulsed FET DRSSTC. This is the first DRSSTC I ever knew from early 2001 (tuned primary tank and primary feedback), long time before the work of Jimmy Hynes and Steve Ward.
After a lot of Tesla-related talks, Mazzilli and his wife guided me visiting the Milanese Museum of Science where I've seen some awsome things
Big submarin from Italian fleet from WW II
Some big steam engines:
Big Brown boveri alternators that were driven by a big steam engine:
Big bipolar tesla coil with a segmented gap. Mazzilli told me that in '50 this model was functional and it was one of the museum atractions. Now it is incomplet and just collecting dust.
Detail of the primary coils:
The multiple spark gap:
The reproduction of the automatic calculator invented by Charles Babbage:
The "Pascalina" invented by Blaise Pascal to help his father (reproduction):
An old clock workshop:
Modern reproductions inspired by Leonardo da Vinci drawings:
Old bicycle and car:
Electromagnetic pendulum (sorry it has tu be turned 90 degrees):
Telegraphy apparatus:
The reproduction of Volta's first battery:
...and a lot of another interesting things.
It was great. I hope to meet another mate coilers in the future (even I am too lazy to travel so often).
