The Machine

So I was going through a stack of old pictures today and came across this rare photo of "The Machine". The first picture is right before the first ever attempt to work the machine. There were quite a few pictures taken after its starter electrode was engaged for the first time but the sight was so brilliant and bright that unfortunately none of the pictures ever developed. Tragically, a passing grackle was apparently so hypnotized by the machine while it was turned on that it flew directly into the center of it, breaking it into several pieces. For years after this day, Czahr devoted his life to reassembling the machine to show the rest of the world its abilities. He was never able to duplicate the same result. For the three of us that were there that day though, we will never look at the world around us the same way again.





Here's a closer look if you're curious.
