Tesla  - Van De Graaff x Ray - Laser - HT Optic

 


Tesla: electrical discharge in a globe with rarefied gas without direct contact

Tesla - Van De Graaff   

My wife says the age is not synonym about wisdom, also claims who "plays" with these devices, he must necessarily to be a little crazy: maybe she is right; I advise to give a look to theWebRing hub HT  site or WebRing hub tesla  or to the Italian site: http://S.webring.com/hub?ring=italianteslacoil  to see how many "crazys" there are in the web ... it is really worth.
