Chance to see some working Mercury Arc Recifiers in London

[UKMeterman]

I know modern art is not every one's cup of tea, but the Takis exhbition at the Tate Modern features two small working mercury arc reciferes and a lot of big magnets. Takis – Exhibition at Tate Modern | Tate - https://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/takis Closes 27th October

Looks interesting...but you can bet all that wanton and wasteful use of energy,is only going to tempt some Swedish school girl,to turn up with a fuse-puller,and a wheelbarrow full of iron-filings....

There was a working 250kW MAR in the science museum electricity hall. Fantastic things to see working, a bit daunting to work on.
