Chateau Steelypips presents the 2007 Christmas Tree of SCIENCE!!!:
OK, it may not look all that science-y-- nary a Tesla coil to be seen-- but just like last year, this year's tree is all about the science. I'll be explaining how in a series of picture posts over the next week or so.
So, well, stay tuned...
I'm thinking you really need to hack together an "angel" style topper with a functional "Jacob's Ladder" for wings.
i'm actually interested in building a tesla coil christmas tree with plasma balls hanging around it :)
To Skwid in #1:
As cool as I think that angel would look, memories of fire safety videos from grade school make me think that putting a really big spark plug on top of a giant piece of kindling might not be the best idea. Of course if you add to the retro-tech look by using an aluminum tree you're all right I think.
