  • Nice. Very nice.

    How did you ground the secondary without frying every electronic driven appliance within 100 meters?

  • Im sure he dont have too many unwanted visitors

  • So have you looked up the video "Tesla's little secret"? Might also be called Tesla's little joke. Basically what I'm asking is have you switched the spark gap and the capacitor to the other side of the circuit and tried using the Tesla coil as an ambient energy collector? Since you already have it made and it seems pretty advanced, you might even be able to power a good bit of things in your house if you pick up on Tesla's little secret :)

  • THE SIGN READS " NO TRESPASSING"

  • Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You Kevin Eldridge's Backyard TESLA Lightning generator is awesome

  • I Really Like The Video From Your Kevin Eldridge's Backyard TESLA Lightning generator

  • Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing Kevin Eldridge's Backyard TESLA Lightning generator

  • JESUS CHRIST WHAT A HUGE TESLA COIL how u make that?

    and... OMG AT: 4:23

  • whats the point ???

  • Industrial sized ozone generator!

  • I'd hate to see his electric bill after using that for a month.

  • how much

  • Like a boss!

  • what if that just like fell over?

    

  • One heck of an air purifier?

  • 40,000 gigawatts, Marty...

  • Just think, he could run it backward and power his whole neighborhood for free...

  • That just look plain dangerous...every part of it

  • It really servers fruitful information.

    The concept of Tesla was copied into what it is well known as Magnetic Generator.

    The concept of magnetic generators have been around for many years and

    Now days is it emerging due to high gasoline prices,

    Just go to Google, search for --- Best Magnetic Generator Review ---

    and Click the First Result

  • CD?!

  • it's just a little tesla coil... oh wait! HOLY FUCK!

  • now put it off

    o shit the button is on the machine :P

  • finally now thatll keep that dog outa the yard!

  • Nikola must smile when he watches this from his "vantage point".

  • think this is hard on the grass?

  • That would make an awesome active bugler alarm system! Hook up a motion sensor from a driveway lamp to a heavy duty relay controlling the primary so you don't waste electric. That would definately keep the local crack heads out of the tool shed! LMAO

    Thanks for the awesome video!

    You ROCK!

  • danger do not try at home, so where the hell did you build it?

  • I bet the electric company loves you.

  • LOL! I bet that messes with TV's for miles.

  • is it just me or would this thing look a little more intimidating without the pink...

  • That would be good for trust-passers I like it

  • where did you get the power pole transformers??

  • Comment removed

  • DANGER: DO NOT TRY THIS AT MY HOME ???? And whos home do i try this at when i build one? What would happen if a guy were to walk under this monstrosity?

  • A scarily significant portion of this structure seems to be made out of wood.

  • imagine getting shocked by one of these

  • @raith7062 i can't imagine, that u would remember.. :P

  • how the fuck did i get here

  • @youhelpbuild- I want to know are you using this to collect power and storing it for later, or are you using power to do this?

  • that is a pretty impressive tesla coil... its amazing how much free time some people have

  • thats a nice ass bug zapper

    

  • Is it EMC approved Kevin? I Am sure I heard the static from it last night on my radio.

  • Why did you build this?

  • 13 people electrocuted themselves building one of these...

  • IMA FIREIN MY LAZOR, oh wait, I shoot lightning........IMA ZAPPIN YOU WITH MY LIGHTNING

  • This may be a stupid question, but why don't the sparks make a sound like thunder?

  • @Coasterintheyard because of the very low amount of electrical pressure, probably measured in the milli, or even micro amperes. What you are looking at is almost pure voltage with very little amperage.

  • @mogeroithe Electrical "pressure" is VOLTAGE and NOT current, otherwise you are correct. Voltage equivalent to Potential Energy (e.g. large weight 100 feet up has Potential Energy) whereas Current (Amps) is Kinetic Energy (i.e. dynamic or "flowing") equal to the Potential Energy released when the weight is dropped to the ground or water dropping through hundreds of feet in a Hydro-Electric dam producing Kinetic output energy in rotating an electrical generator turbine

  • @websavvydood You are correct, my astute friend. That was a mistake on my part.

  • @Coasterintheyard They DO ... just mini thunder (i.e. the "sparking" sound) there's insufficient POWER (i.e. Volt-Amps) to cause the plasma that's generated to superheat in a short enough time sufficient quantity of air & water vapour in the air to "explode" the way that the multi-MegaJoules of a typical lighning bolt do. The "sparking" is the exact same sound you will hear around 125kV (and lower) power lines especially when the weather is damp.

  • now make a Faraday cage suit, and go walk into it, lmao...

  • Impressive! 

  • wt,,,,,,,,,,,,,WTF

  • well thats one way to kill the weeds.

  • "I love the smell of ozone in the morning...

  • any one get the a strong feeling to run up to it and give it a hug??

  • 3:26 is what you came here for...

  • That is one BADASS bug zapper!

  • @Tdoggy64 ITS A TESLA COIL U NOOB

  • @student71901 I am fully aware of what it is, and I sure am not a noob!

  • @Tdoggy64 lol..heh heh

  • So this is the ufo I saw at 12 in the night.

  • Wow! this guy built that big spectacular thing but, was unable to say a word about what it is good for...

    typical redneck.....LOL....

  • where do u store that energy?..and how fast do u store!...dont want to pay money for energy!!

  • Holy Crap!?! that was cool.

    I have a couple of questions. what is the input/output? does it leave burn marks anywhere? have any birds or small animals been zapped accidentally? besides ozone, have you experienced any local weather anomalies?

    Also, have you experimented w/electricity from the earth?

    any answers you give are appreciated! :>)

  • So how am I supposed to try this at home? I would die before I even build it.

  • I want to make one of these and use it to piss my neighbors off

  • Now if a farm animal would only walk by . . .

  • The ultimate home defense machine

  • Kinda reminds me of those sonic fences in the TV series Lost.

  • good job fucking up the aspect ratio, aren't you a pro.

    go kill yourself.

  • Be right back I'm going to go piss my neighbors off

  • We should wheel it to a westboro protest and show them what Zeus thinks!

  • @kefer123622 Amazing love it

  • I want to install one of those in my front yard, and flip it on when the Mormons come a knockin'.. ;o)

  • Some people play golf or collect stamps. Imagine that: "Honey, I think I'm gonna build a great frking tesla coil in the garden shed and try it out on the weekends and shoot 100 kv bolts of lighnting all over the yard!"

  • @bbob765 Indeed! thank heaven's for guys like this though! why work at all if you can't do some great stuff with your income, Bravo that man bravo!

  • @bbob765 lolololol cant stop loling

  • @bbob765 thats definately more than 100kv.

  • it looks cool but what can you do with it..?

  • @hup2m02 Did you ever get an answer to your question about the tesla coil? "What can you do with it?."

  • 2:24 oink oink!

  • I can just imagine the smell. All that burned ozone. ick

  • i wish i had one of those in my garage i can just put it in my front yard like that hahahah

  • how many volts? if you increase amps how high is your power bill?

  • And what is the purpose of this?

  • Yes, but will it blend?

  • Do i smell a bogan?

  • the thing about it is this is only 1/2 of it how are u going to run anything off it.

  • @MrJetjoe I have a theory that if we used the same way the lights can be powered off of it and put or minds to develops batteries to use that same technique for lets say our phones so instead of rechargable battery we have essentially a light battery im not sure if it would work but that is my thought and maybe tesla knew how but that is unknown

  • ill try this in my friend's home!!!!!!!!

  • Wouldn't it be dangerous to near it like the guy in the shed?

  • Expensive thing to make...one of the gifts from Tesla, a pure genius....one in 1000 years.

  • wat name is music?

  • @strepkins Its the Danse Macabre ;)

  • @st12n Thanks

    

  • do not try at home ofcourse not i wouldn't actually now where i get a 10 metres high penis formed electricity thing

  • Does anyone eat bread before watching an electricity movie?

    No? Okay it's just me.

  • when he went into the shed with the 2 light blue transformer looking things i expected him to say "MUAHAHAHAhahaha...!!!" and then wring his hands as he threw a large switch.

  • OMFG that is minion

  • Dont try this at your home. Try it at your friends home.

  • @MultiChickenLover you mean neighbor's home ;-)

  • :O wow. What is da voltage and amperage and wattage? (Lightning: (average) 100 millionV 10,000A and up to 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) watts.

  • what happens if you go near it

  • Maybe it would attract aliens and zap them just like bugs.

  • you have to pay for all that what you are doing to disturbing the nature you men of greed you will be pay for all that

  • More money than sense.

  • I wonder what kind of an electricity bill he has each month. o_O

  • I guess groundhogs messing up his garden are a problem of the past too for him ....

  • I would have one! If there is coming anyone it will switch on by a sensors of course when i'm at home!

  • wonder if u can strink this down into a hand held gun and make a lightnight gun like off quake 4?

  • @ownerfate this was the exact topic of a mythbusters episode, and they found out it was not possible to shrink it down (yet) to fit inside a gun sized thing. Or if you are ready to carry a 40 pound transformer around... that'd be one helluva taser.

  • what do u use it for

  • this should be used to show people why you don't wear or hold metal in a thunderstorm...look how many times the tesla coil struck the metal stand keeping the tesla coil up.

  • @dragoffire

    I WAS THINKING THE SAME EXACT THING WHILE I WAS WATCHING THIS VIDEO!!!!

  • This is this guy's fault Lost's Island is magnetic! Stop it or we're all going to end up hunting boars/people!

  • Can u imagine his power bill hahahahaha

  • It's better than a dog to protect the robbers... :D

  • I'll take five!

  • We can use it to produce OZONE because our O3 layer is depleting, causing us to have skin cancer.

  • Rofl xD Sorry for calling u a moron.

  • it is just one KILLING MACHINE

  • 1000 ampere is instant kill u moron!

  • Man, what's the name of your toy store? I want one of those!

  • I need one of these to keep my neighbors from getting in my yard. LoL How much money did that demonstration cost just in electricity. Tesla was a great inventor some of his inventions were out there. Ben Franklin is why we have AC instead of DC for our power grid. One way of getting rid of the bugs.

  • Is that a bug zapper?

    And I thought Florida was buggy.  Counting my blessings now.

  • Rob?

  • You're an idiot. The ground does absorb electricity. Lightning doesn't haveto hit something like a tree. It can simple just hit the dirt. Tree's aren't "conductive". Really should have thought that comment threw.

  • @Xramas you're fake and apparently totally ignorant and never seen a tesla coil.

  • @fuhQ6969 i can only tell you that why do you think taser guns have a wire that transports electricity between the gun and the target? its the same with a tesla coil you need to have something it can travel through. because if a tesla coil works then you can build a lightning gun but that is not possible in thyis present time. plus i have seen countless tesla coil experiments as i work with the idea of transforming lightning into electricity.

  • uff, co je to za magora, to chci taky.. uff, loony, I want this TOO :-))

  • we are not that far from the russian tesla coil in red alert after all....

  • How can we harness this? I know Tesla had a plan for free energy for all. But I don't understand how?

  • Wow!

  • why?

  • it sounds like fly

  • ow what to do today... i know i will make a giant bug zapper :P

  • that's the biggest bug killer I've ever seen

  • Good Grief!

    All the materials, energy and effort, extended for a U tube video? What are you going to do with that?

    You must have grabbed a bare wire, back in the day, dude. A productive product would have garnered return on your investment.

    Must be nice to have so much free time.

  • @pnwoods

    you suck

  • Now THIS guy is after my own heart!! (My Family Motto is, "Anything Worth Doing, Is Worth OVERDOING!!!" NICE JOB!!!

  • Hahaha...Well said dude!

  • Hey dizzy- I'm not a dude.

  • @Patriotgal1 Woops... Well said friend!

  • @dizzitoast No problem! I'm NOT one of those "uberfeminists", who get pissy at EVERYTHING!! (BTW- I EXPECT door to be opened for me- so they are!)

    Have a great day!

  • wonder what his electric bills are like ... :)

  • dunno but I quess he is not on a pay as you go either....Standing next to meter swingin one coin after another one...

  • so much energy wasted :D but nice

  • Wow! Guess when he builds something he goes the whole nine yards. Very impressive. Has to be the biggest homemade one I've ever seen. I can't imagine the hours spent on the building of it. Great job! I'm flabberghasted. Thanks for the vid. I'll pass it on.

  • Definitely cool, but I hope he has no close neighbors to complain to the FCC about the EMPs interfering with their electronics!

  • Initially, it was not a toy ... Now for some reason, all made in Tesla transformer toy - "lightning" to do (((((

  • I wont try that in my home because I couldn't fit that thing in there.

  • just funny toys....

  • where did u get the pull pigs?!?!?

  • that things so huge!

  • Comment removed

  • beautiful!!!!!!!

  • FUCK THE HELL WAY...thats so awesome and crazy...want one of this beauty's

  • It's a good thing people don't believe that lighting is the rath of God, because if they did, this would be TERRIFING!!!

  • AHAHLOL, yeah!!!!!

  • no sound from the tesla coil makes this look fake imo.

  • Not fake. Real capacitor, real primary coil made from copper plumbing pipe (my tesla uses smaller copper pipe)... mammothly huge secondary coil... This guy definitely knows how to do it.

  • electro man strikes again

  • HUGE. O.O

  • I wonder if this would stop robbers.

  • lmao

  • @dragoffire3 yea. put in in the only entrance and exit...  in a narrow ally....

  • fake
