A bit more Tesla Coil stuff, this month, but this time with a vacuum tube (valve) oscillator type. These are quite simple in design and produce small but quite arcs compared to a SSTC. After a brief walk through and demonstration it gets hooked up to a faulty Plasma ball for some gas pressure investigation. After capturing all the video, the globe imploded on the bench, most likely from the thermal stress and higher vacuum.
