This page is the home of my various toys.

Most of these toys are high tech. They're either cool things like plasma globes or things I've built.


My prototype "railgun" page. This is really only a model and proof of concept. Don't let the word "gun" fool you. This is no more of a weapon than the electron gun in the back of your TV or Monitor.
This was a present from my Girlfriend cuz its something I really wanted but couldn't justify spending money on. (Isn't that what gifts are all about?) I call it a Lightning Tube but I think the manufacturer calls it Phenomenon. You can get it at Spencers or Dapy for like $70. I like to have it on when I'm playing mad scientist. Its not a Jacobs Ladder but it will have to do.
Here is the first high voltage device that I've ever built (if you consider 300V high). This is my 300V SuperAmp "Stungun" made out of "recycled" cameras.
This is the "universal interface" that I built to control my various gadgets, gizmos, and inventions with a PC parallel port.

This is one of the two contenders for my dream rifle. DMCI's XM107 50 Caliber with US Optics Scope. Upon showing my other half this link all she said was "oh, and you're gonna have to grow a field of tomatos before we'll even discuss that gun." I don't like tomatos but I'm growing three plants so she can have fresh ones, but I guess that isn't enough.
