Model 10 Tesla Coil used to trigger man-made lightning across six foot gap. This discharge
is over 10KA at less than 5 usecs. rise time, producing a large electromagnetic pulse
(emp). Storage capacitor used is rated at 60 KVDC, 75 Joules.

Ken's backyard shown is one of the original special effects Jacob's ladders used in the
production of "The Bride of Frankenstein".

Daum - Director of Research at Batelle Memorial Research Institute at Columbus, Ohio, and
Bill Wysock. (Note: Batelle purchased Tesla Technology Research's Model 10 coil, which was
subsequently donated to Ohio State University's high voltage lab in 1995, where it is in
use today.)
