By way of maker muse Jeri Ellsworth comes this great project log site, 4HV.org, for those pursuing high-voltage projects. We’ve linked to a few projects from here over the years, but it’s worth bringing it to the top again. Seen here is Marko’s DRSSTC (Double Resonant Solid State Tesla Coil). [Thanks, Jeri!]

And it goes without saying that high-voltage electricity can be very dangerous and is only for those who have enough knowledge and experience to know exactly what those dangers are and how to avoid them.
