Sure, tesla coils are cool when they just shoot lightening. They are about a million times cooler when they play the Imperial March. To wit:
The music was performed by ArcAttack, "creators of the original 'Singing Tesla Coils.'" The coils apparently "produce an electrical arc similar to a continuous lightning bolt which put out a crisply distorted square wave sound reminiscent of the early days of synthesizers." But enough with the crazy science talk. Let's hear 'em do the "Doctor Who" theme. Wooo-weee-ooooohhhhh....
OH MY GOD. THAT'S AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteagain, it's things like these that make me unreasonably happy.
ReplyDeleteMy nerdy husband immediately wanted to know how the Tesla coils were synchronized. A quick visit to ArcAttack's About page answered that.
ReplyDeleteAs Teresa Nielsen Hayden says, "Tesla coils make everything better."
Tesla coils scary
