thanks Scifideity,
we have an Industrial Metal Supply store here in san diego. Home Depot for copper wire. i'm using a cutout from a spent shell for the little cradle under the front coil. Tubedepot.com for the tubes. (the sizes of which you guys figured out, thank you)
Timelordd those rods look perfect. i haven't had any luck finding anything similar. the smallest tubing i can find is quarter inch. did you fabricate those?
hi guys, i've been enjoying this thread for about a month and i've been working on a replica tesla of my own. i really appreciate the work/ research/ brainstorming that goes on here.
