i have many friends (like 90%) who are potheads and %20 or so are tesla coilers (including my self) %75 knew what a tesla coil was and how it worked and to test this tesla coil theory i went out and asked random people what one is and only one of them knew ... my only expiation is teslacoils are trippy as hell and are simple to make any one here tesla coilers? and if you dont know what a tesla coil is... http://www.icorp.net/users/kev/tesla/scotcoil.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/10/Tesla_coil_3.svg/496px-Tesla_coil_3.svg.png
http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=33344696 from the silo party in april =X it was a sick show iv thought about how cool it would be to make. it was funny cause some stupid rolling kid went behind the ropes to talk to the dj there and he stoped the coils and got pissed and made him leave heh
Both the title AND premise of this thread = truely the sweetest sauce ever brewed. I'm more of a Pyro to be honest, but I like what you guys do. I likes it a lot. Oh, if I was going to do anything Tesla style, I'd be destroying shit with resonate frequency. Liquifying steel, and what not.

My father and I are what you would call Teslacoilers. Damn proud of it too. We need a GC Teslacoilers Conventiion. GCTC. or... GC Teslacoiler Holders Convention ... then it's GCTHC.
so what does being a tesla coiler mean? you make them and play with them or what? i think i would get really high and electrocute myself or something stupid heh
a coiler is someone who makes coils and a coilist is someone that playes with them or rly likes them i put all my coils in plexi cases and for the larger one i like to make the power switch some way away ... i stone proof them
that sounds like alot of fun. so where might one go to get some schematics and hints to getting started? ever since i saw them playing butter popcorn iv ben intrigued
the whole tesla coil thing was a failed 19th century powerplant it was like sposed to harness electricity from storms or somthing but dont make one its sketchy as fuck and to make one big enough so that its fun and cool you may make somthing that can kill you they are neat tho, anyone ever found a practical use for it? hey i got a good use for it when the po po come have one in the middle of your room hooked up to 100 car batteries and flip it on and make pork rines
