How perfect and appropriate: the music that they usually play for mad scientists' castles, played on mad scientists' favorite device, the tesla coil!
-
the Tesla coils are extremely high voltage the sound you hear is the arcs causing the air around them to basically explode same concept as Thunder the signal sent to them turns them on and off at a tuned rate to achieve the right sound frequency since the coils themselves operate at a much higher frequency tone is achieved by turning them on and off hundreds or even thousands of times a second based on the desired tone.

@epilectrik Maybe it's more correct to say that coils make sparks that are making sounds. We hear spark vibrations not vibration of coils.

Pretty sure Bach would vomit...
-
How many would you need to do the whole thing? It takes both hands and both feet on an organ...
-
i would love to hear this piece played on several different coils simultaneously. That would be epic if done right.

@ferretyluv i found this from googling mad scientist

@minski76 If he had midi organ manuals he would have added a bunch of coils to an organ as well as other synths and things probably
-
they should use this with a little techno beat and a crazy light show for their next agt performance!

I'm sure if Bach had known, he would have composed exclusivly for Tesla coils :)
the coils dont actually make the noise do they? they just spark when they get electricity sent by the signal going to the speaker right?

The coils are actually making the sounds that you hear.
