hobby electronics components
High voltage gen. I’m trying to learn the high voltage/high freq. side of hobby electronics.?

I just started tinkering again and currently would like to build a high voltage “plasma speaker”. I’ve seen videos everywhere but not the theory or schematics. Please bare with this- I have two ignition coils and two flybacks, plenty of power supplies and the little components everyone has stored up. I need some direction, somewhere to start. p.s. the guy in me wants huge arcs to impress the wife so I’ve been thinking of a dual ignition coil Jacobs ladder but I believe she would let me off the hook for the price tag on a “speaker” with a 3-4 inch gap. Thanks for your time!!!

I read something way back about using a transformer from a neon sign for a Jacobs ladder. They are pretty common as bar signs, maybe you can call a local beer distributor and find one were the sign is broken but the transformer is good .
( I would rather bare with your wife , I don’t mind bearing with you , lol )

Many of us have a lot more time on their hands these days. Those that still have their roles are likely to experience enough stress on a common-or-garden basis that some after-hour diversion is necessary.

Basically, hobbies are activities we try in our free time for our own pleasure. Whether we pursue them alone or in groups, hobbies are sometimes the parts of our lives we find the most mesmerizing and for which we’ve got the least time. Nevertheless, folks’s hobbies always tell you something about them.

One such past-time is making and flying model planes. Nitroplanes is a company which sells model planes to flying backers out there. Nitroplanes Hobby and their site is a retail and mail order supplier of radio controlled aircrafts, serving model fans since 1999. They supply tiny models of their real life equivalent so that kids and big children can experience the joys of playing and piloting model air-craft.
Featured on the firm’s site are life-like miniatures of their giant opposite numbers with design to the last detail. Aside from aircrafts they also just about each sort of model including Control Line, Rubber Powered Free Flight, Plastic Models, Model Rocketry, and Wooden Ship Models. They have expertise in Radio Control, and in particular R/C model aircraft and helicopters.

As a dedication to consumer service, the Firm has a life time warranty with an online shopping center for their client’s entire radio controlled airplane and RC helicopter desires. Not only do they offer the most competitive pricing on the web, they also offer free lifetime online support thru dialogue boards over the internet.

Their web site has a great deal of hobby information, both product and technical, as well as complete departments for Radio Control, Free Flight, Control Line, Plastic & Diecast Models, Wooden Ship Models, Model Rocketry, and Neat Toys. They cater to just most sorts of models including Control Line, Rubber Powered Free Flight, Plastic Models, Model Rocketry, and Wooden Ship Models. We are skilled in Radio Control, and in particular R/C model aircraft and helicopters.

Nitroplanes truly is a place for aeroplane fans. Their internet site is devoted to the love of the craft and for the propagation of the hobby. Hobbies such as this are very good stress relievers and will help you keep occupied and at the same time give you a feeling of achievement straight after you assemble and fly your own model plane. Building models is also a good way of improving dexterity and troubleshooting skills since the models have engines and will need maintenance.

Flying model planes is also one of the most well liked hobbies in the US. There are a lot of sites devoted to flying and creating model planes. Hobbies are also a very good way of complimenting a job. Although not all model airplane fans are professional or beginner pilots, the talent needed for such a hobby usually compliments those with engineering or technical jobs, which in turn may also be developed by getting into the model airplane flying hobby. Amateur and professional fliers are welcome at Nitroplanes! Visit our site and get flying!

library furniture children
What was the name of that show again?

There was a children’s television program that was on a considerable amount in the 90′s. I think it was on ABC and it featured three small mice (they were puppets) that lived in a library and told you stories (at least that’s how I remember it). There was also a clock and other talking furniture. Can anyone help?
Ok update: I’ve discovered the name of the show I previously asked about. It was called Return to the Magic Library… or Bookmice. Just watching the intro got me excited. Who’d have thought there’s forums for these kind of things. One thing this forum didn’t tell me was the name of another show I’ve lost the name of. So, rather than post another question, I thought I’d just add to this one. Sneaky, huh?
Ok, the show in question (to the best of my memory) began (and ended) with a 3D sequence of the world, flat on the back of a turtle that swam through the universe. I think it was a kid’s show that aired on ABC in the 90′s. Any ideas?

That sounds a little like Bagpuss, but not sure if it is
