Tesla Coil Rock
When I was a kid, I loved two things unconditionally - the Red Sox and tesla coils. The Boston Museum had the biggest tesla coil in the world - I wanted one for Hanukkah. So you can imagine how giddy I was when I stumbled upon a pair of tesla coils at the geek fest organized at SXSW by Make: Magazine and Dorkbot. Unless most tesla coils, which just shoot out lightning, these coils are tuned to shoot lightning at different frequencies, generating music. In this video, Joe DiPrima demonstrates his mad, mad invention as it performs the 1812 Overture.
