Tesla coils play House of the Rising Sun

[chumchum]

Video's kinda old but not that many views, hope I'm not late.
As described in title.
It's the same idea as floppy drive covers, but I think this is much cooler.

I've seen tons of Tesla coil videos on youtube and this is among my favorites.

This is actually my favorite rendition of this song, though it has been posted before, sorry. Even so, I would leave it up, it's great.

For anyone confused about how it works, here's an explanation from the description:

"The primary drive system for the coils consists of high power semiconductors arranged into an H-Bridge switching configuration. During a spark event, the coil is pulsed on for a few hundred millionths of a second. During this short time, thousands of amps circulate within the primary tank circuit and the energy is coupled into the secondary resonator through magnetism.

So what appears to be a continuous burst of sparks is actually a specific number of sparks generated per second. By modulating the number of sparks that emit from the coil each second, different tones can be produced by the coils."

I can almost smell the ozone
beautiful

I'd love to be this guys neighbor

Sounds kinda like the Sega Genesis' sound chip. That's cool as hell

[pentium]

Tesla Coils look so damn simple when you read the schematics but the precision and cost of copper makes them a bitch to actually assemble.

All I could think about were the insects on the ground.

"And that day, the ant kingdom was forever lost to the savages of electricity"

I wanna walk in the middle of the coils and feel the musical electricity killing me

I gotta say, I would love to see a little cardboard city filled with ants get taken out by one of these.

[Memobot]

Yeah, because The Animals didn't do a good enough version.
This is pretty cool.

I remember putting this video up in the aux pics thread. I guess it deserved a thread of its own, it is pretty rad.

One of my favorites is the Hall of the Mountain King:
