Massive Tesla Coils Interact

The Crucible : Fire Arts Festival 2006 : Festival Schedule
I visited this site last night and have to say, it’s incredible. I’ll post a few movies on Youtube later, but let me tell you, it’s a lot of astonishing displays of fire and things blowing up. If any of the blog readers are in the SF Bay Area I’d advise a visit while the show is running. This is essentially a concentrated version of Burning Man (many of the same artists) without the naked guys on bicycles.

Towering pillars of flame, cracking bolts of electricity, bodies dancing through fire — experience a four-day celebration of creation through fire & light. Come during the day to learn new skills at special Crucible workshops and classes. Return at night as the Fire Arts Arena lights up with fire performance, music, and the works of innovative fire sculptors.

    Here’s another good site: http://www.srl.org/

    From the site:

    Survival Research Laboratories was conceived of and founded by Mark Pauline in November 1978. Since its inception SRL has operated as an organization of creative technicians dedicated to re-directing the techniques, tools, and tenets of industry, science, and the military away from their typical manifestations in practicality, product or warfare. Since 1979, SRL has staged over 45 mechanized presentations in the United States and Europe. Each performance consists of a unique set of ritualized interactions between machines, robots, and special effects devices, employed in developing themes of socio-political satire. Humans are present only as audience or operators.
