Has anyone ever tried to make a Goldberg style lightning bolt antenna?
Tips for bending antennas?

If you use a strangely shaped antennae then the EMF generated will be strangely shaped too. Also, have you tried using a strip-heater or oven rather than just a section-heater. The problem with using heaters is that if onely one section of the material is heated then only that part will bend. . .

I've managed to succesfully bend a loop aerial with a home-brew jig.
I used 6mm Dia Aluminium tubing with a 1mm wall.
I've converted some stills into a .WMV file, around 600K. If anyone would like it emailed, drop me a line and I'll send it.
It's made for use with the Silicon Chip/Jaycar Theremin Kit. More soon on this project!
