Tests to determine structural integrity of aircraft composite materials by the U.S. Air Force Electromagnetic Hazards Group at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A model advanced development composite aircraft in vertical position. A Tesla Coil is used to create extremely high voltage arcs. The voltage arcs strike and pass through the composite aircraft.
Tests to determine structural integrity of composite materials by the U.S. Air Force Electromagnetic Hazards Group at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A model advanced development composite aircraft in horizontal position facing left. A Tesla Coil is used to create extremely high voltage arcs. The voltage arcs strike and pass through the composite aircraft. The test conducted in the dark. The test repeated with the aircraft facing right.
Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source from atomic fusion called ball lightning at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. Golka is interviewed about the expenses and duration of the project. He talks about the moment of accomplishment and sense of achievement when a project is successful.
Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source from atomic fusion called ball lightning at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A television presenter enquires about the project and its criticism. Golka talks about the Mayor's objection to the project, 4 years of the project, his commitment to the project. He works on Tesla coils with a tool.
Robert Golka and Project Tesla - his effort to create an energy source from atomic fusion, called ball lightning, at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. A woman dries out clothes on a line outside a trailer. A television presenter stands before Robert Golka's hangar and introduces Golka's work of creating Desert Fire or ball lightning. He talks about the time and money investment made by the engineer and his aim to create ball lightning. He cracks jokes and has to do multiple takes of the same introduction.
Electromagnetic Hazards Group conducts ball lightning tests under Project Tesla, inside a hangar at Wendover Air Force Base in Utah. An interviewer gets information from the scientists. A team member talks about modern aircraft, new material and avionics system susceptible to lightning. He states that the composite materials used in new aircraft are stronger and don't conduct electricity like conventional metals. The team's research work involves protective measures and verification of the same. He discusses the effect of lightning on aircraft electronics, and the use of Wendover as the research facility due to its reproduction of long arcs. The aim is to study the effects of atmospheric electricity on new materials and electronics systems in modern aircraft. Robert Golka talks about a new company to study and create ball lightning, and apply it to nuclear fusion research.
