[TCML] Visit to Milan (sort of Tesla related story)

[Liviu Vasiliu <teslina@xxxxxxxxx>]

The last 4 days I was visiting Milan for a professional meeting (ESMO congress), so I have the great occasion to visit Vladimiro Mazzilli, in Settimo Milanese, as planned since 2009. After a few phone calls I was very happy to find him at home. He demonstrated a few of his well known mini TCs and have a great time together. Thanx Mazzilli, this is the first time I meet a foreign coiler in person.
...and a few pics of course:

Mazzilli demonstrating his EL509 VTTC:

I would give an year from my life for this picture:

Mazzilli demonstrating his pulsed FET DRSSTC. This is the first DRSSTC I ever knew from early 2001 (tuned primary tank and primary feedback), long time before the work of Jimmy Hynes and Steve Ward.

After a lot of Tesla-related talks, Mazzilli and his wife guided me visiting the Milanese Museum of Science where I've seen some awsome things

Some big Brown Boveri alternators driven by steam engine:

Big bipolar tesla coil with a segmented gap. Mazzilli told me that in '50 this model was functional and it was one of the museum atractions. Now it is incomplet and just collecting dust.

It was a nice trip. Hoping to see you again Vladi!
