Thanks!? The minute I saw those bowls at Ikea I decided to make the machine.?
That was abut 1 1/2 years ago.? I got part way through then had to move, then
school, etc. got in the way.? I feel like a great weight has been lifted from
me.? Maybe it's high voltage levitation or maybe just breathing too much
ozone!?
I hold the two bowls together with duct tape.? The seam is where the most
corona discharge occurs so the duct tape helps squelch that a bit and really
brings the maximum voltage up.? I was originally going to use copper or
aluminum tape but the tape would have a sharp edge that would cause a lot of
leakage.

Mark, dude...that is so cool.? It looks
awesome!? Great write-up too.? I knew I recognized those bowls
though.? I thought about buying a?pair of those for the same reason
the first time I saw them at IKEA, but alas time, and money, and time...just
never got around to it.? What type of tape die you use to hold them
together??
?
Would love to see it at the next meeting.? As
for other presentations, I haven't really started my next project in earnest
but
I'm working to re-use some solar garden light panels to power my USB Plasma
Globe (lights tear down is all I've done so far).? If the meeting isn't
just around the corner I might be done...that time factor thing again.?
Just thought it might go nicely with a VDG presentation.? It'd be
interesting to see if the VDG could make the plasma globe activate without
being
plugged in at any rate.
