Woodridge's Mad Scientist, EMP Generator, & Local Fire Hazard

A Tribute to Harry Goldman - TCBA
Thanks for the memories, Harry - 20 Years of TCBA News,
and congratulations on your 80th birthday in 2003!

A physical experiment which makes a bang is always worth more than a quiet one. Therefore a man cannot strongly enough ask of Heaven: if it wants to let him discover something, may it be something that makes a bang. It will resound into eternity.”
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg 1742-1799
