Did you ever know how to build a Tesla coil?
It’s not, as it appears, a single wire wrapped tightly around its base. It’s actually a number of separate circuits that are never really connected at all. But they’re tuned in to the same frequency. They feed off of each…

When you’re a snow sculpture you end up
having some serious trepidation about the weatherman’s calls for rain you end up standing alone beside burning buildings and feeling merely out of place you find yourself making myths about the gooey innards you’d keep rhythm by when the night…
