I think we need one of these

Jace · 08-06-2007

This is a solid-state Tesla coil. The primary runs at its resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and is modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear.

So just to explain a little further, yes, it is the actual high voltage sparks that are making the noise. Every cycle of the music is a burst of sparks at 41 KHz, triggered by digital circuitry at the end of a "long" piece of fiber optics.

What's not immediately obvious in this video is how loud this is. Many people were covering their ears, dogs were barking. In the sections where the crowd is cheering and the coils is starting and stopping, you can hear the the crowd is drowned out by the coil when it's firing.

This Tesla coil was built and is owned by Steve Ward. Steve is a EE student at U of I Urbana-Champaign. He and Jeff have been going to Teslathons, which is where they met.

It's been suggested that a good name for this coil would be the "Zeusaphone". "Thoremin" has also been mentioned, though personally I think we need Theramin type inputs for that.

To answer a few questions I've received, YES, someone did yell "Play Freebird!" after the first round of music.

You don't get around much anymore. LMFAO. Dood you gotta get out in the real world. James Brown is dead. Country Joe and the Fish are history. Jerry Garcia was a heroin addict. It is a new century. Just because you can programme software or whatever it is you do in your basement, does not make you part of it. You are what is known as a creative ananchronism. Deal with it, dude.

actually, times have changed...most guys feel that if your girl spends all that time to make "down there" nice and pretty for you, then you should spend time and make your "down there" pretty for her

I know I spend some time every couple of days grooming and my wife really appreciates it, plus there is no feeling like getting a blowjob on a freshly shaven "area" haha

You all take me waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too serious.

Once again, what was a simple burn, is turned into a discussion point...

lololololololololololololololololololololololololo lolololololololololol

I imagine if I used an old one like "I'll knock you so low you can swim in your spit" that I would get a lecture on the bacterial content in human spit that would kill you and therefore render you unable to swim.
