  • This video looks and sounds like it's been sped up.  I've seen this coil in real life, and the sparks are lower pitched and a little slower moving.

  • Nope... It has not been sped up. YouTube compression, nor the XL1 microphone, can do Big Bruiser justice. The intense sound generated by this Tesla coil, can not only be heard, but felt too.

    R.I.P. Big Bruiser - We love and miss you.

  • Actually tesla built a much larger coil during his years in colorado springs in the early 1900's, making 135 foot long sparks and destroying the town's power plant!

  • When I see that thing, the first thing on my mind is C&C Red Alert.  Tesla Coil base defenses FTW!

    Or in this case, Tesla Coil anti-bug defense!

  • @kvolt44 LMFAO really, did he do that? how could you have enough electricity back then??

  • @evilsharkey Yes. Just look at peoples moving.

  • @JeffreyRodriguez - while it does use that much, how much does it produce? a shit load more right? that's the point, it produces more than it consumes instead of the opposite like everything already in our world.

  • @Ohiotrucker123

    Defense against alien invasion.

  • OK so how does this help mankind?

    

  • Can you cook things with it ?

  • this is probably a stupid question, but if you had some silica sand could you make some fulgurites?
