Tesla Coil Christmas Tree

Posted by Queuebot in Christmas on December 21, 2009 at 12:05 am

Tesladownunder (aka Peter Terren) is the contributor of a number of items of high voltage arty goodness to Neatorama. Remember the Modern Thinker and sparks around a car?

His latest is a colorful 2 minute long exposure that looks most unlike a Tesla coil and marginally like an Xmas tree (but much better than the 2007 Tesla coil Christmas tree). No photo shopping, it’s all done with a flash and changing the position of the rod with the sparks as well as colour filters.  The star is made of 10 dead fluoro tubes. Even Santa popped in to check it out -he obviously doesn’t mind a zap to the foot!

The Modern Thinker

Posted by Queuebot in Pictures, Science & Tech on April 18, 2009 at 12:40 pm

Peter Terren of Tesla Down Under (featured before on Neatorama) did a take on Rodin’s The Thinker if he just happened to have a spare Tesla coil. The result is – literally – electrifying!

Peter’s protected from the several hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity by wearing a layer of foil and a mask made of fine strands of stainless steel, so don’t try this at home!
