Re:I built one a while back. (Score 1)

I didn't actually make one but my friend did atempt to make one for a science fair project. He would have never even known about it if i hadn't shown him it. So he makes and its just a small triangle made of tooth pics, totatly out of shape, and on top of that he doesn't have the right power supply because of science teachers husband, who is an engineer, won't helps us modify a monitor to get the 30,000 Volts we need. It doesn't work but he still wins at our school cuz he filled it with a punch of crap and clip art. At regional's he is shoot down by the judge who says he researched it and said it doesn't even work. Then I read this article and I see that kid win's first place in state. Needless to say I emailed my friend the article to rub it in is face. The moral of the story....Keep cool science fair projects to ya self.
