Fantastic video, Bill Nye has NOTHING on Chris "Gimmi da baseball bat" boden.

GOOD stuff i dont know mutch about tesla coils but your explanation made the basics quite clear to me :) thank you for that

[xassxass]

those aluminium disk.. what made them suddenly react?

@pt2091 capacitors have a limit. when they fill you should release the switch.

Very well explained...... I didn't get the idea of Resonance during my B.E but now it is clear

[ashtonmorris]

No offense but this guy seems like a real douche.

I like to demonstrate resonance with a flagpole. if you shake it at the right frequency, you can get it to bend and wave back and forth really far.

i love the geek group im almost 13 and i haven't seen any thing with the geek group on it but i do at least have a way to get online and want to know more of what the geek group does before i join and one i join i want to do something so what does the geek group do most of the time and how old do you have to be and in Minnesota is the a chapter the geek group please respond i will most likely be posting this on a few geek group vids but i dont want to spam it thank you

@thewii552

If you compare it to what you find in the industry (substations etc.) Those are small...

[thewii552]

those "3 small caps" in the ring launcher aren't all that small...

[williefleete]

@pt2091 the charge in a capacitor will theoretically hold indefinitely until discharged or a load is placed on them and high voltage capacitors will have warnings as they WILL bite if they have a charge on them even after turned off for a while

Does the box with the power supply and capacitors @ 2:25 have a name? Or do you have a video about that? I'd really like to make one for when I teach about electricity and magnetism. I would like to learn more about it's math and construction.
