Danger! High Voltage!
Last weekend, on saturday the 26th, I went to Krannert Center to watch a concert.
This was no ordinary concert, however.
This one involved Tesla Coils producing musical tones and putting on a light show with electricity zooming across the stage.
The overall performance was incredibly unique, loud, and had a guy named Dr. Zeus involved.
Dr. Zeus stood between the two coils and pulled several cool tricks:
1) Wearing platform shoes and a halo that lit up when the electricity went through the suit.
2) Playing with long light bulbs that lit up red to form his Darth Vader Light Saber when Star Wars played.
3) Igniting a piece of wood with the Tesla Coils.
4) Shooting a flame thrower at one of the coils and having the electricity going through the flames.
The whole thing got me so excited that I even suggested doing something with tesla coils for our group's research project in ECE 110. We think it would be interesting to maybe create/research a new trick to implement in the performance. I wonder what a large magnet would do if put in between the two coils...
Right hand rule?
See for yourself!
