Singing Tesla Coils may be the coolest thing ever invented.

Duckon has a great "mad science" track, and the singing tesla coils are the best thing among many great things. They were the thing I most regretted having missed at Dragon*con last year, but now, my desire for massive releases of electricity has been somewhat slaked.

Some very nifty pictures (if I can say so myself) are at Singing Tesla Coils.
I was playing with length of exposure, and some of these are nearly 2 second exposures. No tripod, and I was holding the camera above my head for a better angle...Surprisingly steady, actually. Yay me.

I got to see these at Penguicon this year, and for me, they alone were worth the costs. Cool as shit.

There are also singing Jacob's Ladders. Really cool stuff!

Do they perform acapella, or do they have a backing band?

I saw them at D*C (they weren't an official part of the science track last year, hopefully this year they will be) last year and they were so freaking awesome. I sent Matthew and Sarah up to see them and I think it made their weekend! Gotta love your geek friends, yes? :)
