[WIham] Tesla Fest, Baraboo, Saturday, 9/4

[Mark Thompson]

NOTE: Tesla Coil Demonstrations are Very Impressive After Dark!!
Following Telsa Fest Notice by organizer D.C. Cox 
TeslaFest 2010 & Open House (aka Midwest Cheesehead Teslathon) 
will commence on Saturday, September 4th, 12 noon to 11 PM. 
If you have a coil to set up please come early, like 10:30 - 11 AM to set up.  
Sodas all day and food served around 4 - 7 PM.
Location will again be at Resonance Research. 
Shop location is E11870 Shady Lane Rd, just 2.5 miles south and 
2 miles east of Wisconsin Dells.
Admission a modest $10 --- helps cover food cost. 
Tesla Fest Tee-shirts will be available.
If you are hauling in a coil or other HV device please plan on arriving around 
11 AM so you don't have to manually haul it uphill.  The road will be blocked 
off at 12 noon sharp as there will be too many cars to shift around, so come a 
bit early.  At 11 AM you can drive right in and unload.  We plan on having 
several solid state coils --- some running in tandem mode), many classic Tesla 
coils, large 750 kV Van de Graaff, and perhaps a Marx generator this year.  We 
have both 120 VAC and 240 VAC available --- up to 20 kVA max.  Bring a few 120 
VAC extension cords and a thick, long ground cable to hook up to our shop master 
ground.  I have a 150 ft. long, 2 AWG, 220 Volt extension cord.  To plug into 
our receptacle you need a NEMA L6-50 plug on your power supply. Standard welder 
50 Amp elec. plug, straight blade.  Hope to see you all there!  Bring your 
swap/trade/sell goodies also.  Tables provided.
On Fri, Sept. 3rd I'm also having a gigantic "clean out the back storeroom" 
giveaway.  Lots of free goodies including caps, coilforms, complete wound coils, 
power supplies, a few toroid with small dents, MMC caps soldered in a holder 
matrix, a 75 kV DC pos power supply, and a 75 kV neg DC power supply --- you 
need a truck for these as they weigh approx 315 lbs each --- in a large oil 
filled tank --- nice to charge a Marx generator.  About 30 neon sign 
transformers --- all different currents and voltages.  This giveaway will 
commence around 1 PM on Fri and wrap up at 4 PM sharp, prior to the Tesla Fest.  
Only on Fri as we need to lock up backroom with forklift.  Several pole xmfrs 
available for $150 each --- we can load with forklift on Fri only.  All 10 kVA  
14.4 k units.
