Songs are: Intro, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Ghostbusters, Mega man
This video was shot using a Canon PowerShot SD 850 IS - Věda a technologie
this is by far the most amazing thing ive seen since baby platypuses!!
If you added a couple invisible lasers to the mix, tuned to maximize the blooming effect, you could get the current to follow the lasers and make simple vector images out of the lines.
Imagine, the Zelda theme and an electrical triforce...
+manictiger You... You brilliant F**ing madman you. I love this idea.
That's fantastic! Steve Ward and Jeff Larson wins... everything. Ever. Of all time.
If I could Thumb Up this vid a thousand times that still wouldn't do it justice, WINNING
Thank you for this! I have a short snippet of the later Ghostbusters performance with dancing and lightbulbs and stuff, and found myself wishing for the whole song...
I may be the only one, but when i heard the Ghostbusters' theme i started smileing, so freaking awesome!
Everything about this is incredible.
This is so beautifully timed, with the sun setting behind over the course of the video. Best Tesla coils post yet! Thanks for posting this (since our show was opposite this on Friday night and we had to miss it). -The FuMP
The most awesome thing I've seen in quite a while! o_0
this is the most coolest thing i have EVER seen. it friken awesome.
I always get chills as I hear the last strains of Also Sprach Zarathustra (the 2001 theme) and this is no exception.
I hope someone listening it in the galaxy either :)
Sound waves in the ether, I'm absolutely impressed :)
Bounces to tempo on the last one. I love that sound!
AMAZING!!! Very, very cool! I've always loved the Tesla coil and admired the man's accomplishments. I never imagined someone would find such an unusual and imaginative way to run a Tesla coil. Bravo Maestros!!!
The Tetris theme was awesome :D
you mean that when you try to play the theremin, it arcs and kills you? That IS badass! I want one now!
how awesome is this! :D An epic win all the way!
This is amazing.
Amazing!
AMAZING!
so awesome on so many levels
This is so awesome.
words cannot express the awesomeness!!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful.
Love the commodore 64 spec Ghostbusters! This vid brought a tear to my eye...
As the crowd watches in sorrow and grief, as my casket is lowered in the ground, my last request on this earth is for a relative to start this song as my casket comes back out of the grave. Just one last prank before I'm gone. Hope the spring mechanism and release allow the top to pop back open correctly.
That was amazing
The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software.
Simply AWSOME!!!
"I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
This is pretty awesome.
awesome!!
AWESOME!!!
It's AMAZING !!!!!!
Okay that is freakin Awesome!!
Hells yeah, Marble Madness! I just shouted out in glee when I heard that, man. I WANNA GO PLAY IT NOW.
High five to everyone involved! Amazing!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
awesome Harmony!
great work, I like to see that it is working. :) Big like
Mega-cool! And yes happy b day to the man! :-)
Incredible! If I could give you 100 stars for this, I would! 5/5
incredible :D
I want one of these! I would just sit there playing the intro to new born by muse on repeat
The volume off these things must be bodacious. The camera's audio limiter completely swamps out the crowd noise while the coils are playing.
I want one.
Dying in rythm of music gets whole new meaning!
frickin EPIC WIN!!!
There are people that dislike this because there are people that dislike anythiong and everything, no matter how great or even beneficial it might be. If I stood on the streetcorner handing out $100 bills, someone, somewhere, would have a problem with that. Sad.
Awesome
Awesome!!!!!
You are the timeless genius 'TESLA'
My head just exploded from the nerdiness.
I went to the Science Place when I was in 3rd grade and we went to the Electric Theater. One of the mechanisms there were several electric generators, and a Tesla Coil. A friend touched one of the older generators, and her hair stuck out like Sailor Moon! The Tesla coil in this room was horizontal, and had holes in the front. When the session was over, I talked to the host, and explained that I thought the Tesla coil was a blaster of sorts. maybe a lightning gun could be used with a T.C. for it?
EPIC WIN!!!
This is made of awesome. GEEK OUT!
amazing, ftw!
@wingedsesshy This is brilliance on a whole new level!!!!
GOOSEBUMPS!
Music and a light show.. ftw!!!
I am not sure how many times I have watched this video since seeing it for the first time several months ago. I CANNOT WATCH WITHOUT GRINNING! This is just ... hilarity and epic-ness!
My questions: How loud is it? When the notes end, you can hear the thunder roll int he background... Is there a video from far away? How far does the sound carry? How much power do these things actually consume in the length of a show like this?
PLEASE keep doing these shows, this is beyond awesome.
EPIC :O
AMAZING... they are using the tesla coils to power the tubes of Neon Argon and Xenon!
So much win!
wow - Thus Spake Zerathrustrah - Strauss (2001 theme). Excellent choice - well played too.
I never knew they could do that!
How on earth can you dislike this?
Marble Madness song at 4:10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brings back so many memories!
killer sustain!
I haven't heard Marble Madness music in FOREVER. It sounds even better on a tesla coil :D
I don't care what anyone else thinks . I think these guys a re AWESOME . I wonder what else they can play on those things
This is full of wow
pretty cool.
the last part is Tetris.
this is so amazing!
its the best vid ever
The bit you've put as the 2001 theme is a classical piece called "Thus Spake Zarathustra", or "Also sprach Zarathustra", Op. 30 by Richard Strauss, in case you want the correct title in there. Truly awesome vid, btw!
HELLAMEGA AWESOMENESS
Love the Tetris part!
FYI: 2001 space odyssey's intor has a name "Also sprach Zarathustra", it's by Strauss
btw: the first is the intro to 2001, that is correct.
But its called "Also sprach Zarathustra" ;)
funky!
And the whats-it song from Tetris!
^^ Amazed
The growing darkness *is* pretty nice. Sorry about the shakiness, though, I was holding the camera while working another camcorder at the same time, but the colors aren't as vivid and the sound quality isn't the same with the other one. In these you can sometimes hear the echoes. Sorry you missed the show. It was awesome. FYI They will be at DucKon in Naperville, Illinois in June.
Nice
who ever thought of this major major props
@snipe3d3 Correction! This is the beginning of TESLA music!
@G21Turismo It is indeed! Amazing! Just what I was about to say.
This thing just dethroned the Theremin as the Coolest Weird-Ass Instrument Ever :D
Freakin' awesome! Who do we contact about bringing a tesla coil concert to the UK?!
OH MY GOD. THIS IS..OMG
@Vortex42
Don't forget Steve ward for the major improvements in the Drsstc
The first part needs a kiss stealin', wheelin', dealin', jet flyin', limousine ridin', son of a gun. WOOO!
@jynx1300 you will not believe how hard i laughed, thanks, you made my day xD
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Two syllables: EP and IC!
Ah okay, had to check out wikipedia for amplitudes to further clear that out :p thanks!
I'd so love to go to a Heavy Metal Concert with these playing along with an electric guitar and Rob Zombie visuals.
oh my gosh!!!! that makes the electric chair much more funny xDD
This is WIN!
I was wondering what else these tesla coils could be used for. Didnt think they could be used to play the Gostbusters tune.
I had a dream once about a church for worship of Machines in a parallel universe, and there IS one in one of my older games. Anyway, hanging around the main chandelier like a carousel, among other elegant things, were Tesla Coils, and I thought after waking up, "Could Tesla coils make a sort of Electric Pipe organ? A bunch of them clustered together, and played via keyboards?"
