This originally had "What's on Your Mind", by Information Society, and "I Want You", by Savage Garden, and was built around the beat of those songs. Because I don't have time to remake the whole video, I only deleted those songs from it. Therefore, this is mostly intended for those who'd like to know how to build a tesla coil.

Anyways, this mostly documents my tesla coil's construction.

Odd things I learned from this experience:
- Cooking oil doesn't smell great on copper
- Gnats love to get into wet polyurethane
- Acrylic sheets crack if you try to saw them
- Wet polyurethane on a spinning pipe forms into huge globs if too much is put on at once
- Percent signs mess up video titles in YouTube
