Dr Zeus battles Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils with LightSabers at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI.
Dr Zeus is Terry Blake inside his custom made high voltage suit. The suit is made of various flexible metal parts including chainmail and several types of screen. The suit directs the electrical energy around Terry, allowing him to safely interact with electrical arcs that span over 12 feet. The LightSabers are actually standard fluorescent lights, which can be fully illuminated by the energy from the Tesla Coils, without wires.
Dr Zeus is standing on an insulating plastic sheet, which forces the energy to emerge as sparks from his feet to get to earth ground.
The music that you hear is coming from the sparks generated by the Tesla coils, not speakers. The Tesla coils are 7 feet tall, 18 feet apart, and can put out over 12 foot sparks. A laptop computer sends midi commands to the coils via fiber optic link. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson.

does anyone know how much amperage those Tesla coils produce? I'm just wondering. cause it could be 100,000 volts and you wouldn't feel a goddamn thing as long as the amperage was 0.
I once played aa game at an amusement park in an arcade. it was an Addams Family fester Shock machine. you'd hold two metal handels and it would electrocute you with increasing intensity. fun as HELL
