[TCML] just one TC at the ISEF

[Jim Lux <jimlux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

At least just one that I've seen so far. There's about 4-5 acres of 
projects, some 1600 entrants total from around the world.

EE312 "High Frequency Resonant Transformer" from Love and Thomassie in 
Arlington VA

Abstract says running off 9kV (it's a fairly good sized NST under 
there), and from casual inspection, I think they have a MMC and a muffin 
fan blown tungsten gap.

Abstract says it's a unique and original design.. I'll take a closer 
look tomorrow.

Not sure what they did with the TC, and just building a TC, unless the 
design is truly unusual (like one of the more unusual coupled resonator 
designs analyzed by Antonio 10 years ago), I'm not sure it would do well 
at ISEF.  The bar is pretty high at that level.  Last year's grand prize 
winner developed a $0.75 test for pancreatic cancer; Year before that it 
was someone who developed a nuclear fusion apparatus (there were 
actually 3 or 4 fusors at the fair). As I say, the bar's pretty high
