HFDRSSTC
A plasma flame generator, or high frequency dual resonant solid state tesla coil! It uses some really clever electronics to achieve this, and is a staple in plasma physics, being able to produce 4" flames at less than 500W of power.

Reed Machine v2
The second iteration of the reed-enhancing machine I built for highway. The original one was not very effective, however, I think that there are many improvements I can make from the form factor to the way it enhances the reeds themselves.

Vacuum Tube Tesla Coil
There are lots of types of tesla coils, from the original SGTC that Nikola Tesla invented, to the newer SSTCs (even cooler variants of those like HFSSTCs and DRSSTCs). But there's one type of tesla coil that doesn't use modern silicon based components, but not the old spark gap method either, which is the VTTC. It makes 'sword-like' arcs and is a really interesting type of coil.

High Voltage Power Supply
A high voltage power supply that aims to output around 250,000 volts. It utilizes an high frequency transformer fed into a multi-stage Cockroft-Walton multiplier. This array of high-voltage diodes and capacitors should be able to multiply it up to the hundreds of thousands of volts (hopefully).
