Title: Mario's Back - In Musical Tesla Coil Form!
Post by: David on December 02, 2007, 07:04:19 PM

If you've ever longed to hear the classic Super Mario Bros. (http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/smb) overworld theme played by 12 foot sparks of electricity, this is your lucky day.  At the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon (sponsored by DC Cox {Resonance Research Corp}) in Baraboo, WI, two seven foot tall, high power solid state Tesla coils blasted out Kondo's famous tune.

Feast your ears and eyes on this marvel over at the video, hosted on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1O2jcfOylU).

The coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake.

I'm amazed that that song can be played so well on two Tesla coils.
