THE NEVADA LIGHTING LABORATORY - A PROPOSAL TO BUILD THE
LARGEST POSSIBLE SOURCE OF DELIBERATELY GENERATED LIGHTING
San-Francisco, CA-based Greg Leyh works as a research and development
engineer at the Stanford
Linear Accelerator Center, and, in 1996, founded Lighting
On Demand, a volunteer organization of engineers, artists, scientists
and machinists dedicated to producing a controllable discharge
of lightning at the greatest physical scale imaginable. From
1997 1998, he was the principal engineer for The Electrum
Project and, in conjunction with sculptor Eric Orr, created
the worlds largest existing Tesla Coil, now on a sculpture
farm outside Auckland, New Zealand. At dorkbot, Greg will talk
about his latest project: The Nevada Lighting Laboratory.
