- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17After seeing the 500kV video commented above, I wish I had chosen a career as an electrician. Oh well, back to working as a Miss Universe tanning lotion rubber.
- info, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Oh, and here's another one just for you electricity pyros...
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-711022817903815072 - info, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Tesla coils are fine and all, but here's some real juice...
500kV Switch Opening...
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4468957986746104671 - cinder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I used to have access to one that would spit out >1 million volts -- http://static.flickr.com/33/61364257_32e092a8fe_o.jpg -- we had lots of fun with that.
- BGFeltenink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Then move on. We don't give a flying ***** if you 'no digg' it.
- qvitex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4info - that's amazing! i want to hear that in person, i bet it sounds even cooler than it looks.
- MatttK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'd like to surround my house with Tesla coils and flame towers... gonna be rough on the power bill, though. :/
- giid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Try this: http://www.techeblog.com.nyud.net:8090/index.php/tech-gadget/50000-volt-tesla-coil-experiments
- desktopmonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Homebrewed Tesla coil. Way cooler, WAAAAAAAAY more powerful! Check out the spark pics and the info on building it here:
http://home.att.net/~gbward4/ - antdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Are you in C&C:Red Alert universe? :P
- Harlequn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Shock the monkey tonight! Digg!
- EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1All Tesla Coils are cool. Period. Keep in mind, voltage doesn't kill, current does. However you can still get a pretty uncomfortable zap from a Tesla
- ViperDaimao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn, I guess it's been too long since I played those games.
- kowgod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What experiments, exactly, are they performing? This is nothing more than we've all seen demonstrated in a high school physics class.
- Splitt3rxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1pffft, prism tower>tesla coil
- viciousnet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1nice movie.. wish they had had a nightshot camera for the dark scenes though.. got boring during those times..
- mrops, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Who says we don't have wireless electricity. Just don't come in the way.
- R4wBon3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1can the font on that site be a little smaller? I almost started to read something but then became disgruntled and clicked my way out of that
- Fosnez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They used the obelisk of light (large laser), your thinking of the soviets from Red Alert
- s14sh3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I got on it just fine....*thinks what he could do with a tesla coil* >: )
- critic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Always been fascinated with the man. Amazing story. Hated war, but crafted war machines to end all wars.
If you are ever in Niagara Falls on the American side, stop by and have your picture taken with his statue. - Bakagamer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+050kv, that's nothing! Tesla coils can be 1 million, 2 million volts at times, this one's wimpy.
See: http://4hv.org - phelonius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - coool!
thats what i thought when i read the thread title...then my brain had processed it...and i thought...i havent got the slightest clue what i just read - Greenguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We killed Tesla (again) we can kill your site Alek. Take it down...
- ViperDaimao, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The Brotherhood of Nod will now have its revenge!
- aximbigfan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1man that must be a crappy server..... we already killed it.. most of the time they last for at least 30min....
- axentrix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Few years ago, at school, we had experiments with a lot more than 50k volt. 10 times as much, at least.. (Theoretical).
Sites down, btw - petro62, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Man there is nothing cooler than hearing the power of electricity like that big switch opening up. At the same time it is so scary to think how much power is there. Cool stuff.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Damn ... I wish I had a Tesla Coil to put in front of my webcam for this ongoing DIGG thread:
http://digg.com/technology/Watch_paint_dry_-_Live_
Tesla site is dead - "DIGG for beer" (see the thread!) is going strong though ... - SoccerBoy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1FIRE, FIRE, FIRE
DIGG, DIGG, DIGG!!! - lizard3k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I finished the Tesla Coil Experiments level a long time ago.. That end boss was tough. Anyone have a nude patch for this?
- TheQ, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4I have one thats 1.5 million volts where i work.
http://www.thegeekgroup.org - khayman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Tesla coils are always cool! This one is a bit small lets see some real power.
The best tesla coil site ever : http://www.richieburnett.co.uk/tesla.shtml - zifnab, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Still up, jsut takes a bit.
Wonderful video though, ain't never nothing wrong with setting stuff on fire. - marnikdotorg, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0Looks down to me. I'd love to digg it but I can't :'(
- zetaprime, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0SPAMM
- mcwizard, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1I've seen better. No digg even though setting stuff on fire is always cool.
- davbmn68, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2That would be useful (and a better video) if it weren't so dang loud. Great for pyros though!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+2Yaya I can digg it! Ahaha
- miller9time, on 10/12/2007, -12/+1Wow....digg effect only 27 diggs in! (site is down)
