    I swear I had made a new post in here earlier, but anyways.

    I haven't made all that much yet (I'm a newb compared to most of the members here) and I've pretty much gotten a grasp on the electronics stuff.

    After I saw Catelites discovery that FILT works better as a heat sink than diamond, I went and updated the earlier version of the 'Jacobs Ladder' device to have FILT in place of diamond. I also tweaked the electrodes to reduce the chance of two or more electrodes getting stuck in a loop.

    Its a kind of electrical special effect. The wikipedia article explains it best: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_gap#Visual_entertainment

    That was actually the first creation I submitted onto the server.

    yes i saw it ages ago, any way... i under stand it now, but i think that u should use aray instead, because it doesn't emite plasma that rises and floats away

    I actually did use ARAY, but I didn't like the fact that it cluttered the whole area with solid BRAY, so I went for plasma since I wanted to use the electrical arcs, or whatever is the closest analogue, which happens to be plasma.

    I am working on some projects... but they are far from completion. (They are stamps... so you can't see them. Don't Stamp Stickman!)

    cool. atm im working on a matrix

    smjjames, if you positioned the aray right, then no solid bray would come... u could also use void if you wanna get rid of the flying plasma
