Chaos-23

Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils playing Mario Bros theme song at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI.

The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake.

I love stuff like this:

A little-known law which prohibits people dying while in the Houses of Parliament has been voted the UK’s most ludicrous piece of legislation.

Awesome video, this is the result of geeks being allowed to have children.

Hoping tonight will be as funny as last Friday.

Still laughing about Cravendale…. so wrong…

Merry Christmas!

I have to admit I’m just not in the festive mood at all this year. Seems to be a common thing. :o/

Ah well, I can stuff my face with chocolate today & no-one will wag their fingers at me. Yay!

I highly recommend watching episode 9. ;o)

Irritatingly, all the YouTube links have been removed from the wikipedia entry, never fear, MySpace has them:
