Dr. MegaVolt: Man Meets Lighting
Dr. MegaVolt and Burning Man
In 1999 Dr. MegaVolt attached a Tesla coil to the roof of a box truck and drove round the Burning Man festival. A generator towed behind the truck provided 15 kW to power the machine and some lighting. The coil worked perfectly, and we got about 135 minuted of operating time out of the coil, performing four nights in a row for thousands of people. We built a second Tesla coil for Burning Man 2000, and placed it and my upgraded coil on top of an even larger box truck, The result was an amazing spectacle - two coils firing simultaneously and filling a 40-foot-long volume of space with electrical arcs! We returned to Burning Man in 2001, 2002, and 2003. |

Hand of Man
by Christian Ristow, Taos, New Mexico.
The Hand of Man is a large hydraulically-actuated human hand and forearm, capable of movement in all the same axes as a human hand and forearm, and fabricated from steel and stainless steel. This enormous Hand is controllable by way of an ergonomically accurate glove. Anyone who wishes to operate this gigantic and powerful Hand need only insert their hand into the glove controller, and any motion they produce from the elbow forward will be accurately and quickly reproduced by the large machine Hand.
Participants experience the tremendous thrill of power and control as they lift, twirl and crush objects of their choice, such as cars and pianos.
