"Dr. Zeus" and Dueling Musical Tesla Coils
Captured at the 2007 Cheesehead Teslathon, sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) on September 8, 2007 in Baraboo, WI. Shows some Chicago-area Tesla coilers at play! Dr. Zeus (Terry Blake) dressed in a specially constructed personal Faraday Cage takes high voltage "hits" from two identical high power solid state coils. The coils, constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson, are driven from a single Laptop PC by two MIDI outputs. You can see sparks jumping from Dr. Zeus's feet when he's standing on a sheet of 1/4" polyethylene. The current from Steve Ward's coil easily lights a string of 120 volt incandescent light bulbs. Sometimes the high frequency current takes a short cut, jumping between filament supports rather than flowing through the filaments. Something you don't see every day... :^) See more of Dr. Zeus's exploits at his new site: http://www.dr-zeus.com/ Captured by Bert Hickman, Stoneridge Engineering, http://www.teslamania.com
