Three Giant Tesla Coils Perform A Star Wars Medley

This is a video of three large Dual Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils (DRSSTCs) performing a Star Wars medley at the recent Kansas City Maker Faire. I liked the part where they were playing Star Wars tunes and looked like they were shooting lightning. I’ve never gotten to experiment with a Tesla coil myself, but I used to have one of those plasma globes (which, FUN FACT: were also invented by Tesla) from Spencer’s when I was in high school. “Fascinating.” I used to rest my balls on it for birth control (plus as a party trick). “Wait, what?” I learned that in 10th grade health class. “You did not learn that in health class.” Well not from the teacher.

Keep going for the video.
