Ionic Spinners – Briefcase Tesla Coil
This is a long exposure of an ionic spinner with green and blue “neon” fluoro pilot lights rotating on my mini Tesla coil. It shows the corona which is the purple ring of air ionised by high voltage that drives it.

Ionic spinners
An ionic spinner works by ionised air in corona causing thrust on a wire but it needs DC to work well.

Red Sparks
This shows red sparks. This effect is created by taking a normal white flash shot first to give the correct white background, then switching to the red filter and running the sparks for 10 seconds or so while the camera is recording.
It is all one single exposure and is what the camera sees, not a photoshopped effect added later.

High Voltage Water Surface Tracking
DC sparks from my flyback supply with a 0.2 uF capacitor providing a spark energy of perhaps 10 joules at 10 kV. In air this spark will jump less than 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) but water surface tracking means that this will be many times longer and gives a widely branching long spark suggesting a much higher voltage.

My High Voltage Shed
Paraphrasing Monty Python -“None Shall Pass”. A Tesla coil in my high voltage shed. Standing room only. I need a bigger shed as I am running out of safe standing room!
