Re: Electronics vs. Tesla coil
I used to take lightning strikes on my tower all the time. Tower was right outside the window from my PC. Never had a problem with the PC. Did have problems with the garage door opener on the other end of the house. Also had problems once with the phone line, which also came in the other side of the house.
And I could often tell when I was about to get hit, as the phone would start ringing continuously from the induced voltage in the phone line, for about 2-5 seconds before the big flash and noise.
