Tetris played by my solid state teslacoil.

[BLuSwaeter]

Nikola Tetris

[TheMisterMarimba]

I read solid snake tesla coil. I was sorely disappointed.

[MoustachedMelon]

The cool new candle! Someone should play lightning by the wanted XD

[imlink1]

but does it blend?

[BasementBeginnings]

@imlink1 y u no meme right?

[Cadejo773H]

Dude. How can I use my guitar with a tesl coil?

[inyourfacesociety]

Holy shit!

[mrinnertroll]

omg so cool

[DragonGamer9]

Nothing like making electricity our bitch... I mean instrument.

[anderserlkker]

Got this from a russian Haapy Meal?!?!?!

[luigi14444]

Nikolai would be proud.

[SpaceGladiator]

How much Kilowatts does it take to play Tetris once? :D

Nice Work!

[rombeI40]

Маладца! +1

[pmcizhere]

Nice! I really like the pauses/short spurts.

[71296105195]

nice job

[JIMVOMIT]

FCKIN AWSOME



[jtfunkymojo]

1. Build another one

2. Program MIDI with only two tracks (R and L)

3. Attach MIDI player to coils

4. ???

5. Profit!

[wolfshifter13]

So totally awesome!!! Tryin to build tesla coil but can't untangle the wires!!

[tomjay3110]

This is a great example of how not all things in movies are fake. (Sorcerer's Apprentice).

[CufinFan]

Tetris = Russian

Tesla = Russian

Video = WIN

[ExaltedArchitecture]

@CufinFan Tesla was not Russian... He was Serbian. (OR Croatian, I cannot remember.)

[mogeroithe]

@CufinFan My favorite genius was from Serbia. Lots of folks from Russia would like to claim him, but he was from Serbia. Video was still a win though.

[PAVN]

What happens if you grab the arc while it's playing?

[tomjay3110]

@PAVN You either lose all of your hair, or die.

[ifhgsfj]

Science project, anyone?

[realcelestialphoenix]

You could probably improve the sound quality stabilising the electrical arc. Try hanging an earthed conductor above the coil- so the arc remains relatively stationary, and therefore the sound is generated from the same place.

(If you have a normal portable speaker and wave it around, the sound appears distorted, try it with a spare mobile phone.)

[AwesomefulAnonymous]

wooooooooooooooow...dude that's really cool!!!!!!!!!

[HorizonDelta]

Video is good ! For more Tesla tech pls watch video: "Tesla cold electricity" by HorizonDelta.

[Shockszzbyyous]

what if you used a modulation transformer in your GDT line? (driver side)

[awesomelightning]

hey can you make it do the Elite 4 pokemon song?

[Troooooooll]

Shitty graphics.

[KAMIKAZERUFFNECK]

i wish i knew what the hell yall are talking about... i really do! I want a tesla coil so bad! Im working for Tesla company that we produce tesla coils for a bunch of nerdy scientists, im just the distributer manager... so i know nothing of them...

[holycrapapie]

How come most SSTC's are shorter and fatter than SGTC's?

[giratina265]

This makes it sound like the Parkerman1700 remix!

[shockwave952]

Did you make this?

[SupositoryRepository]

It sounds like when my Gameboy would run out of batteries.

[Gman7able]

Would it actualy be possible to use a keyboard from a playtoysynth and aply it to the circuit to make a musicinstrument out of it?

[mushu5t]

I think if you wanted a smoother sound, you need a higher resonant frequency inside your coil circuit. Am I right?

[TeslaCommander]

@mushu5t 400khz should be enough for a very clear sound. This circuit is self tuning but it takes a few ms every time its turned on to find that resonance freq. That is why this circuit can never be clear for real audio. It will be different if a stationary oscillator is used, but this reduces spark length.

[jxcream]

@TeslaCommander does the spark length have any effect on the sound produced?

[dogsofwarclan]

@TeslaCommander i have heard tesla coils play it pretty clear.

[MrStemkilla]

@mushu5t i think its also part due to the camera qwalidy being generally low and the interference thousands of volts has on the camera

[hps94]

what happend if u touch?:O

[fsmmania]

@hps94 u die :O

[triangl]

clearly fake. You can hear like percussion and multiple instruments!

[TheLoneWolf1124]

thats friggin sweet

[CableGuyRyv]

So basically, you connected the power for this teslacoil to the speaker output of an amplifier?

[forwardbias]

Fake? You are a noob! With a 555 modulated flyyback you can build a plasma speaker, You can also build a device with a modulated input on a SSTC. Its not very easy, but not hard either. Google some schmatics, and its not that hard. Play The Monsters theme, on a coil like this, while handing out candy, its epic.

[TeslaCommander]

@TrenteR557 Actually if you design the coil and driver right, you can achieve sparkles of over 3x the coil height.

[megadeth512]

@TrenteR557 don't comment on shit you don't know anything about.

that right there is as real as it gets bitch.

[coolaidkiller101]

@TrenteR557 SPARKLES?LOL they are called corona

[TheBlackSky000]

@TrenteR557 You are right. It's Fake. The video is edited.More over than what you said, you can notice that there is to reflection of the sparkle on the background.

[DamonY]

nice synth!

[Sparrowe]

wow, that is the coolest sounding Tesla coil i've ever heard. man i love science!

[Ad4m89]

awsome !:D

looks dodgey! wudnt like to be side it

[ZeF2007inc]

Nice. If only it was simple sine wave notes,would sound far more crisp :D

[HystericTV]

God damn this is awesome

[Cislouille]

SCIENCE POWER.

[dinodemic]

Nikola Tesla FTW! ^^

[awesomelightning]

@dinodemic Move over Ben Franklin!

[conoba]

If I remember correctly the music for C64 Tetris is very different.

[Gumpa2]

nice

[coondogtheman1234]

Awesome, its the gameboy version of tetris.

[vilocxx]

genial!

[rukieishere]

doesnt this mess up you head

[hobonhan999]

this will be really funny if this sound was in a scary movie and when the tv get static it will make this sound

[Gerrit22041992]

I did the same with a hdd...

[hiflyby]

nice!

[joselu90]

I think, you are generating a pulse signal with a mosfet for the coil and with an other mosfet you are controling the output.

[LordEsper]

This is the way I want to die. Struck by a tetris-playing lightning bolt.

[b0utch]

awesome!!!

[Primiscomputers]

same here, or get sucked into a black hole, whichever comes first...

[MachetexXxAxe]

DUDE FAWKIN' AWESOME!!!!

[CosmicGnarler]

I have never seen so many + thumbs up ever... Excellent.

[martyn347]

@LordEsper this can t kill you i stand near 3 milion volt tesla coil in nikola tesla museum in croatia and guide said that it cant kill you, volts are NOT dangerous 2 things that kills people in electricity is frequency and amps!!!!!

[LordEsper]

@martyn347 Thank you Martyn for explaining that electricity is perfectly safe. All this time I was convinced that sticking my fingers in electrical outlets was dangerous, but your brilliance has disproved the reaction of atoms. Einstein be damned, you sir are a beacon of light in these dark times.

[martyn347]

@LordEsper are you making fun of me?? i never said that electricity is safe , just stick your finger in power supplies and you re gone. i just said that high frequency electricity is NOT dangerous. but low frequency electricity is dangerous, european homes are using electricity witch has frequency of 50- 60 hz and 250 volts and it can kill you.

[awesomelightning]

@LordEsper XD

[iEugene1994]

@LordEsper You'll not die from that thing even if you want to .

: P

But Idea is cool , only , i prefer heavy metal modulated streamers .

[NichtDieseTone]

Really, how many times cooler than an ordinary speaker is this? The sound quality is worth it!

[coondogtheman1234]

is this the gameboy version of the tetris theme and are you playing the actual audio instead of a midi file, ive seen ppl use midi files to play musical tesla coils but i think playing real music is cooler than midis

[112358miau]

??? Alguien me puede esplicar esto en español? Can somebody tell me in spanish what is this?

[Shultzgti]

Pretty cool. I hope someday independent neighborhoods will go off the grid and utilize this technology.

[Philippmitt]

nice SSTC!

[TimpBizkit]

Actually this is the perfect defense against a mother who likes to turn your game off half way through!

[ivnuzi]

If you build a second one you can split the work. Basically "do what they did". They = geek group.

[TeslaCommander]

well i could just try copying their work.. but what im trying to develop here is a smooth soud from a single coil. i know this is possible and i am slowly getting better at it;)

[ilostmypie]

how loud is this thing?

[TeslaCommander]

This coil produces about 100 DB at 1m distance (really deafening).

[triggerhappy77707]

ilikeyourname :P.

Btw very impressive coil.. It was the mini sstc? What switching devices did you use?

[xJohnGx]

this is so cool, nice choice of song, what a nice culture this music comes from :)

[raquer10101]

what is the link that you got plans

[toomyg155]

Very nice video

[1freq]

..Like your setup..You are close to one bad ass Herf gun..*Think pressure & how can you increase*..???...The military has spent millions trying to figure that out...They even used a bomb the start of the Iraq illegal occupation which was suppose to knock out electronics...It did not work..Keep up the good work...Enjoyed viewing...

[triggerhappy77707]

very nice tesla coil!and what audio modulated tesla coil doesnt have just a little bit of distoration.cause your isnt bad distoration anyway......keep up the good work.and btw very nice description

[frizspin175]

how did you find out how to build atesla coil? Please post a website if that is the source of your knowledge.

[TeslaCommander]

sorry for the late response, i got most of the information of steves tesla site. I added a link in my discription.

[frizspin175]

Thanks, the link on my computer wasn't working before but now it is. Even so it will be exceedingly difficult for me to build it because of inexperience.

[98209276]

lol i want to play this song on my first sstc whats it called?

[TeslaCommander]

This is tetris:)

its a nintendo song, but a bit hard to recognise tru al the dirstortion;)

[deesies]

korobeiniki

[98209276]

i like this coil design , what mosfets did you use , im sick of using 2n3055 npns lol. p.s i also like the break out point very nice.

[TeslaCommander]

I used IRFP 360 HEXFET N-channal. These fets are 23A at 400volts, Ipeak 96A.

This allows me to pump up the supply voltage up to 270 volts with no problem.

[Devicon]

Where did you get/buy your coil?

[TeslaCommander]

I made this coil myself, of an 8 cm diameter pvc tube and 190 meter of 0.24mm copper wire.
