Hey welcome to the lab. Thanks for deciding to visit even though we haven't updated our site in (forever + 1day). Things here have changed....a lot. For one, we are now doing research out of a real building instead of our home apartments. The new place has been dubbed "The Shop", and is a 1200 sq. ft. metal building on commercial property located in North-West Houston. So far it has proven to be a fantastic place for us to revel in the experimental sciences. We have new lasers, a new big Tesla coil (16 foot arcs), and have arranged a few chemical detonations of consumer electronic devices...heh...

What you are viewing is a temporary page, put up by us to basically let the World know that HEY! we're still here, still doin' weird shit, and like never before. Right now we've decided to put up this pictures only page to give some ideas as to what we're up to. Technical content previously on this site will return soon, we apologize if these changes have come as an inconvenience.

Thanks to our family and friends for helping to make our lives as exciting as they are. The stuff shown on this website isn't 1% of it. Thanks to our viewers for positive emails and feedback.

Regards,

 - Aron and Justin

We just recently got back from Enchanted Rock, Fredericksburg, TX, USA. See the trip report here! Also, I finally put up the Reimer's Ranch page that should have been up last Summer. Hope you enjoy it - we sure as hell did!!

15kW Tesla Coil:

240VAC 90A Input, Synchronous Rotary Gap, 16 foot arcs. Hits everything.
Rock Climbing:

Rock Climbing in Austin, TX. Sport Climbing at Reimer's, Water Soloing at Pace Bend. LOVE IT.
Chemistry:

High explosive blast, Home-Made Solid Rocket Fuel, Making Metallic Sodium, Alcohol 'Shroom Cloud
South Texas Wildlife:

Catch me if you can...
Weather and Atmospheric Optics:

QUICK encase yourself in concrete, this is S. Texas.
100mW DPSS Laser:

Coherent 315M-100 DPSS Laser. Home-made Switched-Mode Power Supply for the pump diode and TEC's.

Well, that is all for now. We realize that the "pictures only" website is hardly useful for you Tesla coil, electronics, and power physics experimenters. We're working to get our documentation back up as quickly as we can, but don't expect to see it sooner than a couple of months. Be looking forward to PDF's and lots of ExpressPCB and SCH files for your experimenting pleasure.

Aron and Justin's current projects:

Thanks for visiting.
