This thing is simpler and cooler than building a Jacob’s Ladder out of an old neon light transformer. I’m off to look for magnets and ball bearings.

Next year will mark the centenial of flight. Not surprisingly several groups are planning on building and flying replicas of the Wright’s 1903 Kitty Hawk Flyer. This was not a stable aircraft, as folks are finding out.The trick is going to be to come up with something that can be considered a true replica but be safe enough to fly without to great of a risk to the life of the pilot.
