Tom Vales has a mad science lab in his basement!

This Tech Talk joins Mr. Vales for a look at his extensive collection of electrical apparatus, and his equally extensive experience in the fields of electrical engineering and mechanics.

Mr. Vales demonstrates some of his favorite pieces in his collection and informs us about the tools and machines used to build and maintain them, as well as the necessary precautions for working with high-voltage equipment.

As a bonus, we offer a special look at the museum's own Tesla Coil in operation.
