Mike ... I deleted the 2nd batch ya posted sense they were duplicates of the first...<grin>
...
I resize photos using "Correl Photo paint"... but any photo editing program usually gives you the option... just depends on which program you want to use.
...
although I usually "Resample" the picture as it makes the picture much clearer .
...
...
....
.....
I got Feral on here, and had her working on the Hydroxy Hut site all day Long
to try and figure out where the extra garbage is coming from when we down load the photo and try to save it.... we did find out its not us... although I am not totally certain its not MY computer... and as such I havn't ruled out a virus on my machine quite yet... but I am fairly certain its not on my end ...
it seams that the pictures stored on the site are fine, its when they are down loaded something is appended to the file which screws them up...
Feral did a cross check and found that the Hydroxy Hut site Program is fine...
so it has to be something with "Pair Network" itself where the site is Hosted
I havn't contacted them yet, but probably will, as its a nuisance !
... actually I think that its been doing this sense day one and we just now noticed it.... but not positive about that.
... its very strange because Not all pictures have been Appended to with that garbage.... so I think its a virus or bug at the Pare network site...
so for now I wouldn't try to double click and save the files, just single click and look at them on the site.
...if you have stored any pics from this site that don't work please do yourself the favor and delete them from your Hard drive...just to be safe...
if the pic's open properly then their not a problem its only the corrupted ones that are in question.
....
...
Ok Mike what is a Tesla Coil used for anyway ? is that the coil that broad-casts electricity ? like you can hold a neon light near it and it will light up ?
...

hi Tink, Bob,
Tink yes output at top of coil is 600,000 volts, I get a good 3 foot arc of it, and not just one they look just like lightning, they start and then finger out. It is loud enough where if u stand within 15 feet u should wear ear plugs. Like I said I have built 3 so far, I started small, the 2 nd one I built, I had no garage and tested it in the house, I fried the answering machine, and the phone. It lit the fluorescent tubes in the kitchen light, Lol. I took it outside after that, (my wife's recommendation), lol, and I could lite a 4 foot fluorescent tube from 14 foot away. I think back then I had a grounding issue, but I can still lite a 4 foot tube from a ways away just by holding it in ur hand.
Tink on the turquoise box I think u are talking about my ham station, that is a 2000 watt or legal limit amp from heathkit, of course u do not get 2000 watts, losses and all, but yes it is a heathkit sb-221 1500 watt amp. I also have a complete vintage hw-101 with original speaker and power supply, with extra tubes I am looking to get rid of. Of coarse the amp stays, lol.
Bob,
sorry for the double post, I lost my dig cam. and had to borrow one, I was not used to the software.
Let me know if the resize was ok?
Bob,
Yes that was Tesla's dream to deliver free power. He had a lot of grief and competition from Edison who short changed him big time. For me and my small mind and limited intelligence it is just a learning experience and one hell of a conversation piece, lol. I used to set it up on Halloween, I got 3 times the kids, lol.
Mike,

Bob,
The circuit and transistor I am using is rated for 90 amps with a proper heat sink,( I think I have that one covered), lol. I am holding it at 48 amps, 4lpm, and the heat sink, (homemade) just gets luke warm. Even with my f-250 deisel, 2 batteries and 2 alternators, I feel anything more than 48 amps would get me into (the law of diminishing returns) where I would use more fuel to gen. the electicity than I would get back from the gen.
Tink,
yes the "hot water" 101 was made by heathkit. It is an old transiever. Not sure on the price, I was selling it for the silent key's wife. Ended up mine now and I would not sell it without testing it. If u are interested I will test everything and get back to u. I would just go to e-bay see what they are going for and drop the price.
Mike,

Btw guys,
I fired up the coil tonight, let it run till my ears hurt, darn thing is loud. I had a bug in it I had to fix, every once in a while I have to clean the spark gap, it gets bugs and dirt between the copper pipes and kinda shorts it out. My beagles didn't appreciate it too much, lol. I can't wait to build the big one! If I can just find a variable transformer for 220 volts I would be in!
