tesla night and dale travous memories
[repost from 2005]
Last Sunday dorkbot seattle celebrated its second anniversary with Tesla Night. I celebrated my first appearance at a dorkbot event by attending.
Matt Stiger had a tesla coil that rivaled some of Dale Travous’s monsters. It made me heavily nostalgic for the days at Dale’s lab in the Kalberer Hotel Supply building downtown Seattle. I miss Dale.
Especially fun was getting to play with over 2 million volts, thanks to Matt.
In the early 90s, Dale also used electro magnets to shrink coins.
