Crucible Fire & Light: Soirée
For the last few weeks the members of Omega Recoil have been working hard with our friend at The Crucible in preparation for their Fire & Light: Soirée and Art Auction.
The hard work begins this week with installation and testing of our coil in their space. If all goes according to plan, we will be performing along side a Gamelan orchestra with our big coil hung from the ceiling, and our new solid state coil on stage with the orchestra.

Omega Recoil is completely uninvolved in this stage production from mugwumpin.org in San Francisco, but I thought it looked interesting.

Crazier than a tin-foil hat!
You may have thought a tin-foil hat was a sign of crazy, but a Tesla coil hat is probably a bit crazier: Dual Resonant Solid State Tesla Coil (DRSSTC) on a Hat
Not that Omega Recoil doesn’t have some crazy. Here’s a shot of our own Greg Solberg Greg in 2002:

Using plasma to kill bacteria?
This makes us think that cooking hotdogs on a Tesla coil or exploding fruit with an arc might be able to be sanctioned by the local health board….or maybe not. Using ionized plasmas as cheap sterilizers for developing world.
