I have been browsing information on how to make a TEA laser. This kind of laser uses the nitrogen in the air as the lasing gas, and sparks discharging from two long electrodes resting on a foil capacitor. Does anyone have experience building one of these? The only part that I am lacking is a 10kV power supply for the capacitor.
Just search "TEA Laser" videos for more info
The ultra violet beam is not that impressive, but this would be a cool project anyway.
