Hello Group,
Obviously, Tesla coils do not build themselves. If we, as builders, were
robots,
the odds are we would know all there was to know about construction techniques,
materials, design, electrical calculation, and there would be no theory.
As human beings building Tesla coils, no one of us knows it all, or can do
it all.
This is why I personally value this list as much as I do. My lack of
expertise and
experience is compensated for by the information provided by those who have
gone
before me.
At the risk of exaggeration, lets say that a thread developed on building
capacitors
and container construction came up, or that the thread was about building
the chassis
upon which to build a coil. It could be argued, if the materials included
wood, that
the thread was off topic and should be in a carpentry forum instead.
There are highly educated coilers, and those not so much so. There
affluent coilers,
with big shops, nice machine tools, and the ability to buy anything, and
there are those
of us who must scrounge and cobble in all aspects of coil building.
My point is, that as a diverse group, each of us is a unique individual and
each faces
unique challenges in his or her endeavors into coil building. If the
challenge is where to
setup and run a large coil on a small property with a limited budget, or a
spouse who
doesn't approve, or the consequences of running the coil or defying the
spouse, I personally would welcome a sub-forum, or other alternative, for
just such issues.
Chip does an excellent job of moderating the list; I am certain that some
of his judgement calls
are difficult, indeed.
I, like everyone else, have opinions, and no offense is intended.
Sincerely,
Marko
This being a meta-thread, I thought I'd approve it and follow up with my
comments.
I could start another unmoderated free-for-all list if there's enough
interest. At the moment I don't have any opinion either way as long as it
doesn't suck up network bandwidth.
I'll think about it a little bit but in the mean time comments are
welcome.
Chip
